N  offering  this  number  of  The  Christian  Annual 
to  the  ministers  and  members  of  the  Chris- 
tian Church,  the  editor  very  sincerely  regrets 
the  absence  of  reports  from  the  several  Con- 
ferences, the  names  of  which  are  herein 
given,  but,  in  justice  to  himself,  must  say 


® 

©

© 

© 


that  he  used  every  available  means  to  secure  #* 

«§»  such  reports,  but  without  success.     Repeated  requests,  «& 

«§»  special  delivery  letters,  notices  in  The  Herald  of  Gospel  «*► 

gj  Liberty,  alike  failed  to  secure  reports,  and  hence  the  ab-  «*» 

gx  sence  of  reports   from  the  Afro-Christian   Convention,  g* 

@  and  the  several  Conferences  belonging  thereto,  the  West-  & 

@  ern  Pennsylvania  Conference,  the  West  Virginia  Confer-  £% 

@  ence,  and  the  People's  Colored  Conference.  @ 

@  I  feel  sure  that  Conference  Secretaries  are  not  wholly  igg 

@  to  blame,  in  some  cases  at  least  the  fault  lies  in  the  indif-  @ 

@  ference  of  churches  and  Sunday-schools  in  selecting  clerks  @ 

@  and  secretaries.    All  too  often  churches,  and  other  organ-  @ 

@  izations,  do  not  consider  competency  in  selecting  officers,  @ 

@  but,  wishing  to  compliment,  or  "hold"  some  one,  they  ® 

©  overlook  the  greater  importance  of  competency  in  service.  © 

©  One   very  efficient   Conference   Secretary   wrote   me   as  © 

©  follows :  © 

©  © 

«g»  I  am  sending  you,  under  separate  cover,  reports  and  statistics  ««» 

.^  from  our  Conference,  for  The  Annual,  but  do  not  have  a  thing  , 

^  that  I  can  report  on  either  Sunday-school  or  Christian  Endeavor,  **» 

^*  as  I  cannot  get  either  for  this  year.  © 

«g.  Another  Conference  Secretary,  noted  for  promptness  *f 

y^  and  accuracy,  wrote  me  as  follows :  *T 

©  ® 

©  I   have  done   the   best   I    could    with   the   reports    I   have   re-  (§J 

@  ceived  from  the   churches.     I   am   sending  you  one  of  our  report  ^gt 

jgt  blanks,   to   show   you   what   I    have   to   make   a   report  with.     As  «§► 

**♦  meager  as  the  blank  is,  it  is  hard  to  get  the  Secretary  of  the  country  ^ 

_  churches  to  keep  a  record  so  as  to  make  a  full  report. 

®  © 

@  A   few   of   our   Conference   reports   are   quite   full.  ^ 

@  Some  of  them  do  not  give  addresses  of  Sunday-school  @ 

@  officers,  the  most  important  item  of  such  reports.     Con-  g& 

@  ference  Secretaries  are  requested  to  compare  their  reports  g& 

@  with  others,  and  wherein  they  have  lacked  this  year,  are  @ 

©  © 

©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© 


®®®®®@®®®®®®®®®®®®®®@®®®®©® 

&  ® 

«&  requested  to  do  better  next.    When  we  compare  our  im-  @ 

®  perfect  reports  with  the  more  perfect  reports  of  other  @ 

®  denominations,  it  is  enough  to  make  us  hang  our  heads.  ® 

@  © 

®              During  the  year  the  following-named  Conferences  @ 

®  united  under  one  name:  The  North  Carolina  Christian  @ 

@  Conference,  Western  North  Carolina,  North  Carolina,  and  @ 

®  Virginia   and   Eastern    North   Carolina — The    Northern  ® 

®  Kansas  and  Nebraska.     This  decreases  the  number  of  @ 

@  Conferences,  but  does  not  decrease  either  the  ministerial,  ® 

@  or  church  membership.  ® 

®  ® 

®              The  historical  sketches  of  our  schools  and  colleges  @ 

®  are  commended  to  all  our  readers,  as  they  in  a  brief,  but  « 

^  correct,  way,  set  forth  the  origin  of  our  educational  in-  ® 

£*  stitutions,  and  the  deep  and  continued  interest  the  church  ® 

^*  has  had  in  the  educational  life  of  her  people.  ® 

TT              The  reports  of  the  several  departments,  made  to  the  £* 

«gj,  various  boards  of  the  church,  when  in  joint  session,  is  of  *"f 

^  great  value,  especially  to  ministers,  who  desire  informa-  **f 

«*>  tion  concerning  the  general  work  of  the  church  in  the  ^ 

♦»♦  fields  of  her  activities.  ^ 

@,              The  statements  of  receipts,  in  the  several  tables,  are  ^ 

&  reliable,  and  should  be  carefully  studied.    It  is  important  ^ 

@  to  know  what  has  been  done,  by  whom,  and  how.    Such  @ 

«&  knowledge  is  more  than  information,  it  adds  greatly  to  @, 

@  one's  efficiency  in  similar  lines  of  service.  @ 

@  @ 

«*,              I  wish  to  express  my  appreciation  of  the  valuable  ^ 

fa  service  rendered  by  the  Conference  Secretaries,  the  Sec-  «*.

THE  FORWARD  MOVEMENT  AND  THE  HERALD  OF  GOSPEL  LIBERTY 

The  success  of  the  Forward  Movement  of  the  Christian  Church  is  the  suc- 
cess of  the  church.  Its  failure  is  the  failure  of  the  church,  and  such  a  one 
as  cannot  be  overcome. 

The  future  usefulness  and  destiny  of  the  church  depends  upon  what  it  does 
the  present  quadrennium. 

The  five  points  of  the  Forward  Movement  are  vital. 

DEVOTIONS.  The  prayer  life  of  the  church  must  be  deepened  and  broad- 
ened. It  must  worship  God.  Members  must  attend  the  stated  services  of  the 
church  not  to  see  and  be  seen,  nor  to  be  entertained,  but  to  worship  God  "in 
spirit  and  in  truth."  They  must  pray  with  a  deep  conviction,  that  God  hears 
and  answers  prayers  and  that  prayer  is  a  God-given  method  of  seeking  and 
securing  His  co-operation  and  blessings.  Devotions  then  is  a  vitality  essential 
to  the  life  and  power  of  the  church.  But  greater  devotion  will  not  come  by 
simply  announcing  that  we  must  have  it.  A  mere  call  to  our  people,  that  we 
must  pray  more,  by  Superintendent  Denison,  will  not,  of  itself,  accomplish 
much.  To  get  results,  the  hearts  of  pastors  must  be  touched.  The  pastor  is 
the  key  that  will  unlock  the  treasure  house  of  devotions,  of  prayer  life,  and 
real  worship  of  the  heavenly  Father.  The  key  must  fit  the  treasure  lock. 
How  can  the  key  be  fitted?  By  filing,  here  a  little,  and  there  a  little.  A  wax 
impression  must  be  taken,  the  pastor's  heart  must  be  softened  by  the  love  of 
God. 

A  little  rasping  here  and  there  by  the  hand  of  the  Great  Master,  must  be 
done,  the  rough  places  must  be  smoothed,  the  key  must  be  polished,  so  that  it 
has  the  proper  contact  with  the  lock  spring,  so  that  it  responds  easily  and 
readily. 

How  can  the  pastor-key  be  fashioned  like  the  Master-key,  to  unlock  the 
great  treasure  house  of  God  ?  Great  addresses  by  devoted  and  able  leaders 
who  have  thought  deeply  and  prayed  earnestly  would  help  the  pastor,  but  only 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL

a  few  are  privileged  to  hear  these  men.  How  then  must  the  pastor  be  reached  ? 
How  can  he  be  reached  ?  The  answer  is,  he  can  be  reached  through  the  col- 
umns of  The  Herald  of  Gospel  Liberty,  our  church  paper.  Here  are  found  the 
best  thought  and  most  careful  presentation  by  our  ablest  and  most  devoted  men 
on  the  subject  of  devotions,  prayer  life,  vital  piety,  etc.  It  is  absolutely  essen- 
tial to  our  success  in  the  Forward  Movement  program  that  all  our  active 
ministers  take  and  study  The  Herald  of  Gospel  Liberty. 

The  editorials  and  the  special  writers  will  both  educate  and  inspire  our 
pastors.  The  impression  will  thus  be  made  and  the  polishing  go  on  from  week 
to  week.  The  pastor-key  will  begin  to  work  smoothly,  the  treasure-lock  will 
respond,  because  his  heart  has  been  touched  by  the  oil  and  wine  of  the  Holy 
Spirit.  But  the  heart  of  his  congregation  must  be  touched,  the  key  that  un- 
locked the  pastor's  heart  must  be  used  to  unlock  the 
hearts  of  the  members  of  the  church.  The  treasure 
house  of  God  can  only  be  reached  by  unlocking  the 
treasure  house  of  men's  souls,  the  Master-key  of 
God's  love  must  touch  the  mainspring  of  their  lives. 
The  pastor  may  make  his  appeals,  he  may  be 
able  to  show  them  the  wax  impression,  but  the  rough 
corners  of  worldliness,  jealousy,  indifference,  self- 
sufficiency,  selfishness,  and  many  others  must  be 
ground  down  and  polished.  The  pastor's  power  and 
touch  must  be  supplemented  by  the  fine  touch  of  the 
editor  and  specialist,  through  the  weekly  ministra- 
tion of  The  Herald  of  Gospel  Liberty. 

Ten  thousand  homes  must  be  reached  by  this 
associated  pastor,  week  by  week  the  pumice  stone  of 
God's  messengers  must  be  applied  to  polish  the  key 
which  shall  unlock  the  treasury  of  the  average 
church  member,  for  where  his  treasure  is,  there 
you  will  find  his  htart  also.  The  golden  key  of  God,  molded  and 
polished  by  His  love,  is  the  only  one  that  can  unlock  the  treasure  house 
of  the  soul,  but  this  key  can  be  brought  into  efficient  use  by  the  pastor  and 
his  assistant,  The  Herald  of  Gospel  Liberty.  No  thief  can  make  a  skeleton  key, 
no  thief  can  "break  through  and  steal"  so  long  as  God's  key  is  in  the  soul-lock 
of  a  man's  heart.  The  oil  of  the  spirit  brought  in  the  golden  censer  weekly, 
drop  by  drop  will  wear  away  the  rough  corners.  Oh,  that  The  Herald  of  Gos- 
pel Liberty  might  come  to  every  Christian  home!  Silently  but  effectively  the 
polishing  would  go  on.  The  prayer  life  magnified,  spirituality  broadened,  the 
devotions  deepened,  the  combination  is  found,  the  treasure  house  of  God  is 
opened  and  Christians  are  made  rich  in  grace  because  God's  treasure  of  "great 
price"  has  been  found  by  them. 

When  the  great  treasury  of  the  Lord  is  open  and  Christians  have  dec- 
orated themselves  with  rubies  and  diamonds  of  God's  compassion  and  tender- 
ness, then  it  is  that  they  begin  to  hunt  for  the  "lost  coin,"  and  the  hidden  treas- 
ures. 

DEVOTIONS  that  are  deep  and  broad  prepare  the  Christian  to  reach  out 
beyond  self,  they  are  ready  to  launch  out  into  the  deep  and  become  "fishers 
of  men,"  ready  to  "let  down  their  net"  that  it  may  be  filled.  They  desire  to 
carry  the  glad  tidings  of  "peace  and  good  will"  to  the  hearts  of  those  who  have

wandered  far  from  the  "strait  and  narrow  way"  and  have  plunged  into  the 
whirlpool  of  sin  and  destruction. 

These  have  become  evangels,  their  hearts  have  grown  tender  and  large, 
there  are  men  who  are  lost,  they  realize  they  are  their  brother's  keeper  and 
that  the  Master  would  have  us  carry  His  message  and  be  witnesses  for  Him 
both  in  "Jerusalem  and  Samaria." 

But  man  cannot  live  alone,  neither  can  he  live  his  best  unless  he  is  in 
communication  with  his  fellow-men. 

Each  one  of  us  needs  encouragement  and  we  are  encouraged  mostly  by 
the  success  of  others  who  think  as  we  think,  who  pray  as  we  pray,  and  who 
love  as  we  love.  The  news  from  the  field  of  what  others  are  doing,  of  their 
successes  and  triumphs  helps  us,  the  glad  tidings  from  the  "field"  can  come  to 
us,  as  Christians  only  through  the  printed  page,  through  the  oldest,  and  best 
for  us,  religious  newspaper  in  the  world. 

The  Herald  of  Gospel  Liberty  brings  to  us  the  news  each  week  and  we  are 
made  to  rejoice  because  kindred  spirits  who  have  agonized  as  we  have  agonized 
have  been  made  to  rejoice  in  victory  and  souls  have  been  born  anew  into  the 
Kingdom  of  God. 

In  these  days  of  unrest,  there  is  nothing  that  will  calm  the  mind  and  steady 
the  life  as  the  spirit  of  Christ's  message  when  He  taught  the  "golden  rule"  of 
"do  unto  others  as  ye  would  have  them  do  unto  you;"  the  fulness  of  this  rule 
can  come  to  our  minds  and  hearts  only  as  we  come  to  be  filled  with  the  Christ 
spirit  and  love  for  sinful  men. 

As  we  look  out  upon  the  seething  and  turbulent  masses  of  the  world,  we 
cry  out  in  our  agony  of  despair,  the  "fields  are  indeed  white  already  to  har- 
vest" but  the  laborers  are  few  and  we  pray  the  Lord  of  the  harvest  to  send 
more  laborers. 

With  the  spirit  of  evangelism  moving  us,  we  feel  our  own  weakness  and 
inability,  and  pray  that  we  might  have  workmen  of  whom  we  need  not  be 
ashamed,  to  build  the  Temple  of  God  in  these  tabernacles  of  clay;  men  who 
could  rightly  divide  the  word,  giving  to  saint  and  sinner  their  due  portion. 
There  should  be  more  servants  to  warn  the  people  of  the  "wrath  to  come"  and 
who  could  carry  the  message  of  Christ's  love  to  wandering  men,  who  are 
chasing  phantoms  and  following  every  "wind  of  doctrine." 

RELIGIOUS  EDUCATION,  in  the  home,  in  the  school,  in  the  church,  and 
in  our  colleges  is  the  crying  need  of  the  hour.  "We  must  educate  or  we 
perish"  is  true  of  church  as  well  as  state.  Fifty  young  men  each  year  coming 
out  at  the  top  of  our  colleges  and  seminary  are  too  few,  but  this  many  we 
must  have  or  we  cripple  along  and  live  at  a  "poor  dying  rate."  There  is  no 
evangel  of  religious  education  like  the  church  paper.  Its  messages  from  our 
colleges  and  from  our  educators  have  the  true  spirit  of  vision,  of  optimism,  and 
yet  of  absolute  need.  The  call  is  urgent,  the  needs  are  great,  the  people  must 
hear,  the  messenger  must  be  sent,  who  will  send  him?  The  messenger  is 
The  Herald  of  Gospel  Liberty,  and  those  who  will  send  it  are  the  pastors  of  our 
churches. 

It  is  to  the  pastors  we  make  our  appeals.  You  have  the  ear  of  your  con- 
gregations, they  will  hear  you,  we  must  have  The  Herald  of  Gospel  Liberty  in 
ten  thousand  of  our  homes,  if  our  people  are  to  hear  and  heed  the  bugle  call, 
of  "Forward  March,"  along  all  our  lines.  Will  our  pastors  hear  our  plea? 
Will  they  rally  to  the  call  of  the  Christian  Church?     Will  they  carry  forward 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  11 

the  banner  of  our  church  upon  which  is  inscribed  the  creed  of  Christ,  under 
which  all  Christians  can  march  and  pray  the  Christ  prayer  that  we  all  may  be 
one  even  as  Christ  and  the  Father  are  one?  Will  our  pastors  do  it?  They 
are  the  key  men. 

The  church  paper,  assistant  to  our  pastors  in  ten  thousand  of  our  homes, 
then  missions  and  all  benevolences  are  safe,  the  victory  will  be  won,  our  goal 
will  be  reached,  and  the  Christian  Church  will  have  come  into  its  own.  It  will 
be  in  its  proper  place  in  Christendom,  it  will  have  gone  "upon  the  mountain 
top"  of  Christian  unity  and  fellowship  and  join  the  multitude  of  the  heavenly 
host  saying,  "Glory  to  God  in  the  highest"  and  "Peace  on  earth,  good  will  to 
men,"  which  will  be  heard  "round  the  world"  wherever  the  gospel  story  is  told. 

Pastors  and  laymen  join  hand  in  hand,  stand  shoulder  to  shoulder,  our 
hearts  beating  as  one,  and  the  Christian  Church  will  go  forward  in  the  greatest 
movement  of  the  Christians.

SIXDAV-SC'HOOL   BOARD 

Hermon  Eldredge,  Erie,  Pa. — Chairman  and  Young-  People's  Division. 
Mrs.  Fred  E.  Bullock,  Suffolk,  Va., — Secretary  and  Children's  Division. 
Rev.  H.   G.   Rowe,   Danville,   Illinois — Adult  Superintendent. 
F.   R.  Beach,   Irvingrton,   N.   J. — Vice-Chairman   and  Near   East  Relief. 
Rev.  H.  H.  Short,  Bluffton,  Ind.,  R.  D.  6 — Teacher  Training-  Superintendent. 

Annual  Meeting 

The  Board  met  in  annual  session  in  the  Sunday-school  rooms  of  the  First 
Christian  Church,  Dayton,  Ohio,  on  Tuesday,  October  21st,  at  two  p.  m.  Mem- 
bers present:  Mr.  Hermon  Eldredge,  Secretary  of  the  Sunday-school  Department 
of  The  American  Christian  Convention,  Erie,  Pa.;  Mr.  F.  R.  Beach,  Irvington, 
N.  J.;  Rev.  H.  H.  Short,  Bluffton,  Ind.;  Mrs.  Fred  Bullock,  Suffolk,  Va.;  Rev. 
H.  G.  Rowe,  Danville,  Illinois. 

Officers 

The  Board  organized  by  electing  Mr.  Hermon  Eldredge,  Chairman,  Mr. 
F.  R.  Beach,  Vice-Chairman,  and  Mrs.  Bullock,  Secretary. 

Statistics 

Hermon  Eldredge  reported  on  his  efforts  to  secure  statistics  from  the  Sun- 
day-schools. He  stated  he  had  been  compelled  to  try  to  get  these  from  the  local 
schools.  Up  to  date  reports  have  been  received  from  508  schools,  with  a  total 
enrolment  of  52,795.  Fifteen  conferences  without  a  single  school  reporting, 
and  only  one  or  two  from  several  others. 

It  was  the  sense  of  the  Board  that  every  effort  must  be  made  to  get  statis- 
tics, in  order  that  we  may  know  exactly  how,  and  where,  we  stand. 

Near  East  Relief 
F.  R.  Beach  reported  attending  a  meeting  of  the  Near  East  Relief  Commit- 
tee, held  at  Wallace  Lodge,  N.  Y.,  at  which  meeting  the  delegates,  representing 


12  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

all  denominations,  formulated  plans  for  the  relief  of  the  Armenians  and  Syrians. 
The  need  is  stated  to  be  urgent  beyond  relief,  there  being  250,000  orphans,  to 
say  nothing  of  all  other  classes.  This  committee  will  send  out  any  needed 
literature  to  make  the  drive  a  success,  such  literature  including  a  play  by 
Mrs.  Drenchfield,  graphically  depicting  conditions,  programs  for  schools  which 
cannot  give  the  play,  new  maps,  posters,  simple  exercises,  remittance  blanks, 
detail  order  blanks,  etc.  The  call  is  for  $2,000,000  same  as  last  year.  Last  year 
but  $979,000  was  raised,  of  which  we  contributed  $1,572.00.  Owing  to  high  cost 
of  living  it  costs  $180.00  to  keep  a  child  a  year.  This  includes  food,  clothing, 
lodging,  education,  and  transportation  to  where  child  can  be  cared  for  when 
necessary. 

Moved  and  carried  that  we  enter  into  this  Near  East  Relief  work,  in 
co-operation  with  other  denominations. 

Moved  and  carried  that  this  drive  for  funds  be  made  February  22d.  Ad- 
dress, No.  1  Madison  Ave.  (Near  East  Relief).  F.  R.  Beach  was  appointed  our 
official  representative. 

Publicity 

It  was  the  sense  of  the  Board  that  the  work  of  this  Board  must  be  given 
more  publicity  if  it  was  to  do  the  work  it  desired  to  accomplish.  To  this  end 
it  was  determined  to  use  the  Officers  and  Teachers  Journal,  The  Herald  of 
Gospel  Liberty,  and  the  Sunday-school  papers. 

World's  Sunday-school  Convention 

Hermon  Eldredge  reported  that,  feeling  the  need  that  this  Board  should  be 
represented  at  the  Tokyo  Convention,  he  had  paid  a  registration  fee  of  $25.00, 
said  fee  to  be  returned  in  case  we  definitely  decide  six  months  in  advance,  not 
to  send  a  delegate.  The  Convention  meets  October  20,  1920.  The  cost  of  the 
trip,  which  would  include  a  survey  of  the  mission  field,  would  be  from  $800.00 
to  $1,000.00.  Moved  and  carried  that  the  action  of  the  chairman  be  endorsed, 
and  that  report  be  made  to  the  Joint  Boards  that  it  was  felt  to  be  desirable 
that  the  Sunday-school  Board  be  represented  in  the  World's  Convention,  at 
Tokyo. 

International  Lesson  Committee 

Our  present  representative  on  the  International  Lesson  Committee, 
Hermon  Eldredge,  has  been  re-elected.  This  Committee,  composed  of  thirty-nine 
members,  representing  twenty-three  denominations,  eight  members  of  the 
International  Sunday-school  Association.,  and  eight  members  of  the  Sunday- 
school  Committee,  is  the  author  of  the  Uniform  Lessons.  We  feel  that  we  are 
ably  represented  there  by  Mr.  Eldredge.  This  is  a  most  important  work,  which 
can  by  no  means  be  allowed  to  drop  behind. 

Sunday-school  Budget  for  1920 

Moved  and  carried  that  we  make  our  appeal  for  Missions  and  for  the 
general  budget  $10,000.00  from  the  schools  for  1920,  this  amount  to  include 
$5,000  for  Missions  and  the  offering  for  Near  East  Relief  and  the  activities 
of  the  Board  and  that  apportionment  be  made  on  the  average  basis  of  twenty 
cents  per  member  of  the  schools. 

Moved  and  carried  that  the  suggestion  as  made  by  Mr.  Eldredge  be  incor- 
porated in  our  appeal  for  funds  and  sent  out  to  the  churches,  i.  e.,  "This  appor- 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL

tionment  may  be  met  in  any  one  of  three  ways:  One  way  is  the  annual  offering; 
a  better  way  is  a  once-a-month  offering;  the  best  way  is  the  every-Sunday 
offering,  in  which  each  scholar  gives  for  'ourselves'  and  for  'others.'  " 

Summer  Schools 

Moved  and  carried  that  we  thoroughly  approve  of  the  Virginia  Beach 
Chautauqua  and  School  of  Methods,  and  we  recommend  that  its  plans  be  repro- 
duced as  far  as  possible  at  Winona  Lake  and  Craig- 
ville,  and  that  other  such  schools  of  methods  be 
started  in  strategic  places  where  opportunity  of- 
fers, or  the  field  opens  for  such  work. 

Moved  and  carried  that  every  conference  be 
asked  to  reserve  ample  time  on  its  program  for  a 
presentation  of  the  work  of  the  Sunday-school,  and 
that  the  chairman  be  asked  to  prepare  a  suggestive 
program  to  assist  the  conference  program  com- 
mittees. 


Adult  Bible  Classes 

Rev.  H.  G.  Rowe  reported  on  Organized  Bible 
Class  that  the  work  can  be  made  successful,  but  it 
needs  the  worker  behind  it;  that  a  big  enough 
program  must  be  presented  to  capture  the  minds 
of  men,  and  that,  in  his  opinion,  it  could  be  best 
linked  up  with  the  Forward  Movement  if  any 
He  suggested  the  addition  of  a  page  or  two  to  the

adult  quarterlies  devoted  to  the  interests  of  the  work. 

Teacher  Training 

Rev.  A.  B.  Kendall,  D.  D.,  formerly  Teacher-Training  Superintendent,  was 
called  into  consultation.  He  stated  that  after  consultation  with  Netum  Rath- 
bun,  Manager  Christian  Publishing  Association,  it  was  felt  the  Pilgrim  Press 
book  was  the  best  to  recommend  to  our  people.  The  second  year's  books  are 
now  out.  The  three  years'  course  and  120  lessons  are  the  standard  for  a 
diploma. 

Sunday-school  Literature 

Mrs.  F.  E.  Bullock  reported  on  literature,  giving  an  outline  of  the  lessons 
found  in  the  Graded  work  we  are  now  using;  also  exhibiting  a  copy  of  The 
Junior  Herald,  picked  at  random,  which  contained  one  Primary,  two  Junior,  and 
two  Intermediate  articles,  one  unclassified.  It  was  decided  that  it  would  be 
impossible,  for  various  reasons,  to  ask  for  a  change  in  the  Graded  Lessons  used 
just  at  this  time. 

Forward  Movement  Program 

Moved  and  carried  that  we  endorse  the  Forward  Movement  Program  as 
it  relates  to  the  Sunday-school,  accepting  it  as  a  working  basis  for  this 
Board,  with  the  monthly  emphasis  as  determined  by  the  church.  Said  empha- 
sis being  as  follows:  January  and  February,  Evangelism;  March  and  April, 
Foreign  Missions;  May  and  June,  Home  Missions;  July,  August,  September,  and 
October,  Religious  Education;  November  and  December,  Devotion  and  Steward-

around. 

Interdenominational  Representation 

Moved  and  carried  that  we  continue  our  representation  on  the  International 
Lesson  Committee  and  the  Sunday-school  Council,  and  that  we  provide  the 
necessary  expenses  for  our  representatives  attending  these  meetings. 

Teacher-Training  Superintendent 

Moved  and  carried  that  Rev.  H.  H.  Short,  of  Bluffton,  Indiana,  be  appointed 
to  have  supervision  of  the  Teacher-Training  work,  with  power  to  act  in  the 
selection  of  books,  in  conference  with  the  Manager  of  The  Christian  Publishing 
Association. 

Moved  and  carried  that  we  ask  the  conferences  and  State  conventions 
Sunday-school  secretaries  to  meet  with  this  Board  one  day  during  our  session 
of  October,  1920. 

Literature  and  Publicity 

Moved  and  carried  that  we  authorize  the  printing  of  the  necessary  literature 
for  the  promoting  of  publicity  of  the  work  of  this  Board,  and  that  Mr.  Beach 
be  appointed  a  committee  of  one  with,  power  to  act  in  connection  with  other 
members  of  the  Board  in  the  various  departments. 

Standards  and  Surplus  Materials 

Moved  and  carried  that  Rev.  H.  G.  Rowe  be  appointed  to  investigate  method 
of  securing  Standard  Certificates,  with  power  to  act. 

Moved  and  carried  that  Rev.  H.  G.  Rowe  be  appointed  as  a  committee  of 
one  on  conservation  and  distribution  of  surplus  Sunday-school  material. 

Mission  Study 

Mrs.  F.  E.  Bullock  was  given  authority  to  confer  with  the  Woman's  Board 
of  Missions  in  regard  to  correlating  the  Mission  Study  work  of  the  Sunday- 
school  and  the  Missionary  societies.

We  are  facing  a  very  serious  condition  in  the  Christian  Church  in  that 
there  are  so  many  churches  which  are  at  the  present  time  pastorless.  This 
forms  one  of  the  greatest  home  mission  problems  which  we  have.  To  meet 
that  condition  the  Home  Mission  Department  is  endeavoring  to  secure  field 
workers  wherever  possible  with  the  thought  that  lay  leaders  may  be  secured 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL

in  the  churches  where  there  are  no  pastors  and  thus  maintain  services  and  in- 
terest in  the  churches  until  pastors  may  be  secured. 

Several  of  the  conferences  have  already  secured  field  secretaries  and  a 
meeting  of  these  secretaries  is  planned  for  soon  that  we  may  formulate  a  more 
definite  program  to  work  to. 

Rev.  H.  M.  Composite,  our  composite  home  mission  pastor,  has  done  some 
very  strenuous  work  during  the  past  year.  He  has  preached  one  thousand 
eight  hundred  and  ninety-one  sermons,  attended  three  thousand  five  hundred 

and  twenty-seven  services,  made  seven  thousand 
four  hundred  and  ninety-three  calls.  He  has  had 
two  hundred  and  eighty-seven  conversions  and  re- 
ceived three  hundred  and  nineteen  members  into 
church.  We  have  paid  him  for  this  service  about 
ten  thousand  dollars.  I  believe  that  he  has  made 
a  very  good  record  for  our  home  mission  churches, 
one  that  we  need  to  feel  proud  of  having  supported. 
With  the  work  of  the  survey  of  the  home  mis- 
sion fields  by  the  Interchurch  World  Movement  the 
prospect  for  enlarged  interest  in  home  missions  is 
very  fine.  One  of  the  things  which  is  being  brought 
out  in  that  survey  is  the  lack  of  equipment  in  our 
country  churches.  We  are  hoping  that  the  over- 
lapping question  may  be  so  adjusted  among  the  de- 
nominations that  it  will  settle  the  question  of  the 
scarcity   of   preachers   in   all    denominations. 

We  have  placed  the  budget  for  home  missions, 
which  we  submitted  to  the  Interchurch  World  Movement,  at  nearly  $400,000.00 
for  the  five-year  campaign.     That  is  to  include  church  extension  and  all. 

We  are  hoping  that  the  Forward  Movement  may  have  a  great  influence  in 
establishing  the  work  of  the  home  base  for  all  of  our  mission  work  so  that  the 
churches  may  come  to  realize  the  place  they  really  hold  in  the  maintenance 
of  the  work.  The  way  in  which  the  churches  are  responding  to  that  appeal  is 
very  encouraging.  We  ought  to  build  one  new  church  this  year  and  start  an- 
other or  two  next  year,  churches  which  will  be  strong  enough  to  appeal  to  the 
membership  as  a  challenge  for  their  best  support. 

Home  Missions  is  never  able  to  report  all  that  is  done  for  that  cause  in  the 
whole  denomination  along  the  line  of  finance,  as  many  of  the  conferences  and 
conventions  do  so  much  home  mission  work  in  which  the  money  does  not  pass 
through  the  hands  of  this  treasurer.  Many  of  the  conferences  have  done  more 
in  that  way  this  year  than  ever  before,  and  some  excellent  work,  too.  One  of 
the  conferences  raised  its  conference  apportionment  from  twelve  and  one-half 
cents  per  member  to  fifty  cents.  Dr.  Atkinson  writes  me  that  at  the  time  of 
the  meeting  of  their  Board  they  had  $25,000.00  in  the  treasury  of  the  Mission 
Board  of  the  Southern  Christian  Convention.  Thus  there  is  much  Home  Mission 
work  being  done  in  the  denomination  which  we  are  not  able  to  report. 

Our  receipts  from  general  sources  this  year  were  $16,815.09,  which  is 
$2,736.54  more  than  they  were  last  year.  The  total  net  receipts  for  home  mis- 
sions from  all  sources  were  $21,201.38,  or  an  increase  of  $3,746.17  over  the  net 
receipts  of  last  year.  While  this  is  small  in  comparison  to  the  ability  of  the 
church  to  give,  we  are  not  discouraged  with  the  development  of  our  mission

work  along  financial  lines.  Figures  do  not  tell  the  whole  story  by  any  means. 
Men  are  teaching  the  opportunities  of  stewardship  and  planting  the  seed  for 
the  future  in  a  way  that  is  sure  to  bring  a  fine  harvest.  Tithing  is  being 
taught  and  practiced  more  than  ever  was  dreamed  could  be  in  our  church. 

I  wish  to  acknowledge  the  fine  support  that  the  Woman's  Board  for  Home 
Missions  has  given  to  the  work  of  the  Home  Mission  Department.  They  have 
aided  in  the  circulation  of  The  Christian  Missionary,  in  planting  the  leaven  of 
mission  study  classes  in  the  churches,  in  raising  a  large  share  of  the  money  that 
we  have  used  in  the  work,  and  in  promoting  the  general  cause  of  missions.

It  will  be  seen  that  our  income  has  increased  about  $9,000  over  that  of 
last  year,  and  that  the  expenses  of  the  work  have  also  increased  very  consider- 
ably. Prices  have  continued  to  rise,  especially  in  Japan,  where  it  has  become 
almost  impossible  to  secure  land  for  equipment  purposes,  and  there  is  a  possi- 
bility that  we  may  have  to  erect  our  buildings  on  rented  land,  a  very  general 
custom  in  Japan.  The  cost  of  exchange  in  Japan  also  has  continued  unfavor- 
able to  American  money. 

Miss  Martha  R.  Stacy,  already  under  appointment  to  Japan  at  the  begin- 
ning of  the  year,  finally  sailed  for  her  destination  in  September  and  is  now 
very  busily  engaged  in  the  study  of  the  vernacular,  preparing  herself  for  active 
missionary  work.  At  present  her  address  is  No.  26  Kasumi  Cho,  Azabu,  Tokyo, 
Japan,  where  she  will  be  glad  to  receive  letters  from  those  interested  in  her 
life  and  work.

Dr.  and  Mrs.  A.  D.  Woodworth,  who  reached  America  on  furlough  in 
December,  1918,  sailed  for  Australia  in  September,  1919,  to  visit  their  only 
daughter,  who  resides  with  her  family  at  Surrey  Hills.  After  a  few  weeks 
there  they  will  continue  their  journey  to  Japan  and  take  up  their  usual  work 

sometime  in  January,  1920. 

The  McCords  have  continued  in  America  dur- 
ing the  year,  Mr.  McCord  taking  the  work  of  Act- 
ing Foreign  Mission  Secretary  to  fill  in  the  time 
between  the  going  of  Dr.  M.  T.  Morrill  and  the 
coming  of  Foreign  Mission  Secretary  elect,  Rev. 
W.  P.  Minton. 

Owing  to  the  impoverished  health  of  the  only 
son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Garman,  Mrs.  Garman  and 
their  three  children  returned  to  America  in  De- 
cember in  order  that  she  might  secure  proper  med- 
ical treatment  and  climatic  conditions  for  the  son. 
The  Rev.  Mr.  Matsuno,  pastor  of  the  Azabu 
Christian  Church  in  Tokyo,  has  been  absent  dur- 
ing about  half  of  the  year,  making  a  journey 
through  America  and  parts  of  Europe.  This  will 
mean  very  much  both  to  Mr.  Matsuno  himself, 
and  to  our  entire  Japan  Mission. 
Miss  Ren  Hamaguchi,  one  of  our  oldest  and  most  efficient  Bible  women, 
died  in  August,  after  a  somewhat  lingering  illness.  Our  church  in  Japan  thus 
met  with  a  very  deep  and  grevious  loss.  She  was  one  of  God's  faithful  serv- 
ants, and  will  not  soon  be  forgotten  either  by  our  people  in  Japan  or  by  the 
friends  in  America  who  had  come  to  know  her 
through  correspondence. 

Building  operations  for  our  Japan  Mission 
have  been  very  difficult  because  of  the  exceeding 
high  prices  of  land,  building  materials,  and  labor. 
Practically  little  has  been  actually  accomplished 
in  this  line,  but  funds  have  been  sent  to  Japan 
for  the  erection  of  a  chapel  at  Kannari  in  the 
Sendai  station;  for  assisting  in  the  building  of  a 
small  chapel  at  Narugo,  also  within  the  Sendai 
station;  and  some  funds  have  been  sent  for  the 
building  operations  in  connection  with  the  work 
at  Dogenzaka,  Tokyo. 

The  Mission  Board  of  The  Southern  Chris- 
tian Convention  has  assumed  the  task  of  erecting 
a  new  mission  home  in  Tokyo  for  the  use  of  the 
missionary  family  connected  with  the  Dogenzaka 
work.  A  part  of  the  money  for  this  pur- 
pose has  already  been  sent  to  Japan.  The  same  board  has  also  assumed  the 
task  of  providing  a  home  for  Miss  Williams,  in  Ponce,  P.  R.,  and  the  money 
for  that  project  is  already  on  hand.  They  have  also  provided  funds  for  the 
repair  of  damages  done  to  our  Porto  Rico  property  by  the  earthquake  last 
spring,  and  are  with  considerable  rapidity  assuming  large  shares  in  all  our 
foreign  work.

18  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

No  new  missionaries  have  been  sent  to  Porto  Rico  during  the  year.  One 
Porto  Rican  pastor  has  found  it  necessary  to  discontinue  his  work  owing  to 
health  conditions,  but  a  ministerial  student  has  been  added  to  our  roll  there  who 
is  temporarily  filling  the  vacated  place.  Two  missionary  families  are  under 
appointment,  one  for  Japan  and  one  for  Porto  Rico.  Negotiations  as  to  their 
passage  are  now  going  on  and  they  will  probably  sail  in  February,  1920. 

The  number  of  baptisms  in  our  Japanese  churches  during  the  year  was 
102.  Statistics  from  our  Porto  Rican  mission  have  not  yet  arrived.  The  bud- 
get for  our  mission  in  Japan  for  the  year  1920  is  $20,675,  and  that  for  our 
Porto  Rico  work  is  $9,540. 

Below  is  appended  a  list  of  definite  items  which  our  people  might  undertake 
to  supply.  These  are  items  included  within  the  two  budgets,  and  the  Foreign 
Mission  Office  will  be  glad  to  correspond  with  any  church,  individual,  or  con- 
ference that  might  wish  to  undertake  any  one  of  them  as  a  definite  task.

A  little  over  seven  months  ago  the  delightful,  but  serious,  task  of  directing 
and  supervising  the  young  people  of  our  church  along  the  lines  of  Christian 
Endeavor  was  placed  upon  your  humble  servant.  The  months  have  been  ex- 
ceedingly busy  ones  along  many  lines  and  many  of  the  plans  purposed  have  as 
yet  failed  of  materialization,  but  we  live  in  hopes. 

The  great  war  which  depleted  so  many  of  our  societies  by  taking  from 
them  our  splendid  young  men  is  practically  over  and  our  young  men  are 
back  again,  and  we  trust  have  taken  their  old  places  in  the  society  and  working 
with  increased  earnestness  and  consecration. 

The  mission  of  Christian  Endeavor  has  not  been  fulfilled.  It,  on  the  con- 
trary, has  enlarged  and  its  horizon  of  usefulness  has  widened  with  the  new 
opportunities  of  the  times  in  which  we  find  ourselves  placed.

We  are  living  in  a  time  of  upheaval  and  great  unrest  with  signs  porten- 
tious  of  even  more  serious  things  ahead.  The  problems  which  press  us  now 
and  which  will  continue  to  press  for  solution  can  never  be  solved,  except  by 
the  practical  application  of  the  principles  of  Christianity  as  laid  down  by 
Jesus  Christ. 

Never  was  there  greater  need  for  the  training  of  the  young  in  the  real 
meaning  and  the  practical  application  of  those  great  principles  than   NOW ; 

and  the  church  which  is  neglecting  the  use  of 
this  God-given  Young  People's  Society  of  Christian 
Endeavor  for  the  Americanization  and  the  Chris- 
tianization  of  the  coming  generations  is  failing 
to  do  its  share  in  protecting  and  promoting  the 
great  principles  for  which  this  Republic  stands, 
as  well  as  failing  in  the  propagation  of  the  great 
truths  and  blessed  teachings  of  the  "kingdom  of 
heaven." 

I  have  not  at  present  any  statistical  report  to 
present,  showing  whether  we  have  increased  or 
diminished  in  numbers  of  societies  or  members. 
You  may  be  able  to  arrange  one  from  the  confer- 
ence reports  which  you  will  find  in  the  pages  of 
this  Annual.  I  hope  that  we  have  increased  very 
much. 

But  I  am  sure  of  this  one  thing,  and  it  is  not 
an  original  idea,  we  shall  never  make  the  gain  we 
should  and  do  the  work  we  should  until  we  have  a  Christian  Endeavor  Secre- 
tary who  can  give  his  full  time  to  this  great  work. 

Your  Christian  Endeavor  Board  has  adopted  certain  goals  for  the  coming 
year,  which  we  trust  every  Christian  Endeavor  Society,  and  every  church,  and 
every  Christian  Endeavorer  will  help  us  attain.  Every  goal  is  important  and 
harmonizes  with  some  part  of  the  great  Forward  Movement  of  our  beloved 
Christian  Church.  Read  these  goals  carefully  and  then  with  determined 
hearts  let  us  shout  the  slogan  given  us  by  the  beloved  founder  of  Christian 
Endeavor,  Doctor  Francis  E.  Clerk,  "Come  on!     Let's  GO."

tical phases  of  our  educational  work.

THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 


W.  G.  Sargent 


Reports  from  the  institutions  associated  with  the  denomination  show  the 
number  of  teachers  employed  by  all  our  colleges  and  schools  last  year  was  one 
hundred  and  twenty,  of  whom  ninety-two  gave  full  time  to  the  work.  Of  the 
others  many  of  them  devoted  most  of  their  time  to  the  work. 

There  were  in  attendance  at  all  our  schools  one  thousand  three  hundred 
and  forty-six  students,  of  whom  four  hundred  and  thirty-six  were  in  the 
normal  department  and  three  hundred  in  the  academic  department.  Sixty-nine 
were  preparing  for  the  ministry.  This  computation  does  not  include  the  attend- 
ance at  Franklinton,  which  at  the  time  of  writing 
the  Secretary  had  not  been  able  to  secure  from 
the  school.  At  the  latter  institution  many  of  the 
students  come  in  late  and  any  attempt  to  give  the 
number  of  students  early  in  the  season  would  of 
necessity  be  misleading. 

The  total  value  of  the  different  school  plants 
amounts  to  one  million,  one  hundred  and  thirty 
thousand,  nine  hundred  and  eighty-nine  dollars. 
Doubtless  these  figures  are  conservative,  as  pres- 
ent prices  range  much  higher  than  those  submitted 
even  a  short  time  ago. 

Our  various  institutions  have  expended  dur- 
ing the  past  year  in  salaries  ninety-one  thousand, 
eight  hundred  and  seventy  dollars.  Other  expendi- 
tures have  amounted  to  one  hundred  and  twenty- 
three  thousand,  six  hundred  and  twenty  dollars. 
This  does  not  include  new  buildings  that  have  been  erected,  but  has  to  do 
simply  with  current  expenses. 

All  of  our  colleges  provide  instruction  in  the  Bible,  one  at  least,  making  it 
compulsory  during  the  four  years  of  the  college  course.  Most  of  the  schools 
provide  courses  in  Christian  Ethics  and  the  history  of  Christianity.  Only  two 
report  courses  in  Christian  Missions. 

Elon  College  reports  having  added  to  their  curriculum  a  Department  of 
Religious  Education  and  instituted  student  government.  A  campaign  to  increase 
her  endowment  resulted  in  a  total  addition  of  three  hundred  and  seventy-five 
thousand  dollars. 

Franklinton  is  emphasizing  the  industrial  phase  of  their  work. 
Union  Christian  College  has  completed  the  erection  of  the  Hatten  Memorial 
Building  and  entered  upon  a  campaign  to  increase  their  endowment  by  one 
hundred  thousand  dollars. 

Palmer  has  opened  with  good  prospects  after  enforced  closure  during 
a  part  of  the  war  period.  Added  equipment  has  been  installed  in  the  Domestic 
Science  Department  and  Science  Laboratories. 

Defiance  reports  campaign  under  way  to  increase  her  endowment  three 
hundred  thousand  dollars. 

More  money  has  been  raised  for  education  the  past  year  than  in  any  one 
year  of  the  history  of  the  church.  This  is  as  it  should  be.  But  needs  are  press- 
ing hard  and  only  the  utmost  generosity  of  our  people  will  suffice  to  meet  the 
pressing  demands.  Not  only  have  current  expenses  increased  from  fifty  to 
seventy-five  per  cent.,  but  larger  equipment  and  heavier  endowments  must  be 
forthcoming  if  our  schools  are  to  measure  up  to  the  demands  of  our  time. 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  21 

Elon  stands  urgently  in  need  of  a  new  science  hall,  a  departmental  and  a 
new  library  building.     A  chapel,  too,  should  be  provided  this  growing  school. 

Jireh  must  have,  if  the  school  is  to  be  continued,  new  dormitories  and  other 
buildings  of  a  departmental  nature. 

Palmer  Institute-Starkey  Seminary  requires  more  dormitories  and  a  new 
gymnasium. 

Palmer  College  and  Union  Christian  College  need  greatly  increased  endow- 
ments. 

Defiance  must  have  additional  endowment  to  increase  salaries  and  add  to 
her  faculty,  as  well  as  liquidate  the  indebtedness  on  some  of  the  buildings 
recently  erected. 

Franklinton  needs  an  agricultural  department,  a  heating  plant,  a  larger 
faculty,  and  new  buildings  for  dormitory  purposes. 

All  our  schools  should  have  funds  to  devote  to  the  enlargement  of  their 
libraries. 


THE   NEW   ENGLAND   CHRISTIANS    AND   EARLY    EDUCATIONAL 

ENTERPRISES 

By  Rev.  Alvah  H.  Morrill 

I.     The  New  England  Christian  Academy. 

In  1837,  a  school  was  commenced  in  the  second  parish,  Beverly,  Mass., 
and  incorporated  as  the  "New  England  Christian  Academy."  This  school  was 
conducted  on  the  manual  labor  system,  and  during  its  continuance,  averaged 
about  sixty  pupils.  Its  preceptor,  with  the  exception  of  a  single  term,  was  Mr. 
Joseph  Henry  Siewers.  The  Academy  remained  in  operation  less  than  two 
year£,  when,  for  reasons  of  pecuniary  nature,  it  was  closed. 

II.     Durham  Academy. 

In  1839  the  "New  Hampshire  Christian  Baptist  Conference  (I  quote  from 
the  History  of  the  Town  of  Durham,  N.  H.)  decided  to  establish  an  Academy 
where  the  youth,  both  male  and  female,  may  be  taught  the  various  branches 
of  education  free  from  the  leaven  of  sectarianism." 

They  further  stated  that  "their  wish  and  intention  is  to  establish  an 
Academy  of  a  strictly  literary  character,  without  any  reference  to  the  profes- 
sion the  students  may  be  disposed  to  choose  afterward." 

Elder  William  Demeritt,  then  pastor  of  the  Christian  church  of  Durham, 
and  other  citizens  of  Durham,  becoming  interested  in  having  such  a  school  in 
their  town,  secured  the  location  of  the  Academy,  and  its  incorporation  in  1840, 
the  school  being  known  as  Durham  Academy.  Elder  Demeritt  became  the 
chief  financial  and  business  manager.  He  paid  a  large  share  of  the  expense  of 
the  school,  leaving  his  farm  and  conducting  the  boarding  house  for  the  stu- 
dents. A  two-story  building,  of  brick  and  stone,  was  erected.  Beside  furnish- 
ing accommodation  for  the  school,  the  basement  was  used  as  the  vestry  of  the 
Christian  church,  whose  building  (of  brick)  was  close  to  the  Academy  building, 
having  been  built  in  1824. 

The  school  was  opened  August  27,  1841,  and  seems  to  have  received  a  good 
patronage.  The  tuition  was  $4.00  per  term  of  eleven  weeks,  there  being  four 
terms  a  year.     Board  was  from  $1.25  to  $1.50  per  week,  including  everything 


22  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

except  wood.  Quite  a  number  of  these  early  students  became  people  of  much 
prominence. 

The  death  of  Elder  Demeritt,  in  1842,  was  a  severe  loss  to  the  Academy, 
and  despite  efforts  to  raise  an  endowment,  the  receipts  from  tuition  and  other 
sources  being  insufficient  to  meet  the  current  expenses,  the  school  gradually 
declined,  and  ceased  its  work  after  only  a  few  years  of  activity.  "But  while 
Durham  Academy  flourished,  it  ranked  high  in  efficiency  and  was  a  credit  to 
the  town." 

"In  one  term  sixty-eight  males  and  forty-four  females  were  enrolled  as 
pupils." 

In  1864,  while  Rev.  John  S.  Smith  was  pastor  of  the  Christian  Church  of 
Durham,  and  at  his  suggestion,  the  building  was  sold  at  auction,  the  stone  and 
brick  being  taken  to  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  and  the  seats  used  for  the  Christian 
Church  near  the  Academy.  The  bell  that  had  called  the  students  to  then- 
duties  was  stored  in  a  shop,  and  some  fifteen  years  later  could  not  be  found. 

It  may  be  well  to  state  in  concluding  this  narrative  of  the  Durham  Acad- 
emy, that  for  some  years  past  the  citizens  of  that  town  have  had  the  great 
educational  opportunities  afforded  by  the  State  Agricultural  College,  located 
there  in  1893,  (because  of  the  bequest  of  one  of  its  citizens  amounting  to 
$800,000).  and  which  has  an  attendance  of  some  800  or  more  students. 


ANTIOCH  COLLEGE 
(Historical  Sketch) 

The  American  Christian  Convention — then  The  General  Christian  Conven- 
tion— met  in  Marion,  N.  Y.,  October  2,  1850.  The  main  work  for  which  the 
Convention  assembled  was  to  consider  the  question  of  education,  and  to  found 
a  college  of  high  rank  and  suitable  equipment,  which  would  not  only  represent 
the  Christians  in  educational  matters,  but  which  would  also  represent  the  prin- 
ciples of  the  people  founding  it.  The  Convention  was  composed  of  representa- 
tive men,  from  all  sections  of  the  United  States,  and  from  the  territory  in 
Canada,  occupied  by  the  Christians.  The  temper  and  determination  of  the 
Convention  was  set  forth  in  the  following  resolution,  offered  by  Dr.  J.  E. 
Frees,  of  Philadelphia: 

Resolved,  That  our  responsibility  to  the  community,  and  the  advancement 
of  our  interests  as  a  denomination,  demands  the  establishment  of  a  college. 

The  resolution  was  debated  at  length,  and  unanimously  and  enthusiastically 
adopted. 

Immediately  upon  the  adoption  of  the  resolution,  the  Convention  raised  a 
committee  of  thirty-four,  on  Ways  and  Means,  with  a  sub-committee  of  thirteen, 
for  executive  purposes.  This  Provisional  Committee  was  empowered  to  locate 
said  college  in  some  "accessible,  healthy  place,  offering  sufficient  inducements." 
It  was  resolved  "that  we  agree  on  the  sum  of  one  hundred  thousand  dollars,  as 
the  standard  of  our  zeal  and  our  efforts  in  raising  the  means  for  establishing 
the  contemplated  college."  It  was  also  resolved  "that  the  sum  stated  by  the 
committee  shall  be  raised  by  the  disposal  of  scholarships  at  one  hundred  dollars 
each,  which  scholarship  shall  be  negotiable.  Whoever  then  subscribes  and 
pays  one  hundred  dollars  will  own  a  scholarship,  giving  such  persons  the  right 
to  keep  one  student  in  college  continually,  free  from  educational  charges,  and 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  23 

whosoever  subscribes  and  pays  fifty  dollars,  will  have  a  like  privilege  half  the 
time."  It  was  provided  that  no  one  should  be  allowed  to  vote  who  did  not  own 
one  full  share  of  stock,  and  no  one  was  allowed  to  own  more  than  ten  shares. 
It  was  also  resolved  "that  at  least  two-thirds  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  a 
majority  of  the  Board  of  Instruction  shall  at  all  times  belong  to  the  Christian 
Church."  And  it  was  resolved  "that  the  college  shall  afford  equal  privileges 
to  students  of  both  sexes."  And  last  of  all  it  was  resolved  "that  our  proposed 
college  shall  be  known  by  the  name  of  Antioch  College."  Yellow  Springs,  Ohio, 
offered  the  "sufficient  inducement"  and  the  college  was  located  there,  though  at 
first  it  was  expected  to  locate  the  college  in  New  York.  Judge  Miller  donated 
twenty  acres  of  land,  and  pledged  the  village  for  $30,000.00  cash.  The  meeting 
of  the  Provisional  Committee,  that  located  the  college,  was  held  in  the  Knob 
Prairie  Chi'istian  Church,  now  the  Enon  Christian  Church,  in  Clark  County, 
Ohio. 

Horace  Mann,  of  Massachusetts,  was  the  first  president,  serving  from  1859 
to  1862.  Rev.  Austin  Craig  served  from  1862  to  1865  (Rev.  J.  B.  Weston 
acting.) 

Mr.  Mann  was  born  in  Franklin,  Mass.,  May  4,  1796.  After  he  completed 
his  course  in  Brown  University,  he  studied  law.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
State  legislature  in  1827,  and  in  1836  was  president  of  the  State  Senate,  and 
for  eleven  years  Secretary  of  the  State  Board  of  Education.  In  1848,  he  was 
elected  to  the  United  States  Congress,  in  place  of  ex-president  John  Q.  Adams. 
On  September  15,  1852,  he  was  nominated  for  Governor  of  Massachusetts,  by 
the  Free  Soil  Party,  and  on  the  same  day  was  offered  the  presidency  of  Antioch 
College,  situated  in  what  was  then  a  real  frontier  community.  Mrs.  Mann,  in 
"Life  of  Horace  Mann,"  says:  "Several  years  after,  when  driving  one  day  over 
one  of  those  broad  wastes,  when  occasionally  a  solitary  log-house  showed  that 
human  interests  were  beginning  to  be  linked  with  nature,  his  companion  re- 
marked, 'I  should  not  like  to  be  a  pioneer.'  'Are  we  not  pioneers?'  he  answered, 
not  bitterly,  but  sadly;  for  he  had  already  been  made  to  feel  that  the  borders 
of  civilization  are,  in  their  social  aspects,  but  a  short  way  removed  from  bar- 
barism." He  accepted  the  presidency  of  the  college,  and  at  the  close  of  his 
term  in  Congress,  entered  upon  his  duties. 

The  financial  conditions  of  the  college  were  in  a  hopeless  tangle,  and  soon 
became  more  complicated,  and  seriously  embarrassing.  The  notes  held  by  Judge 
Miller  were  uncollectable,  and  a  financial  crash  was  inevitably  soon  to  come, 
and  yet  students  flocked  to  the  college.  The  school  years  of  1855  and  1856  show 
a  total  enrolment,  in  all  departments,  of  three  hundred  and  sixty-three  students, 
and  the  years  1856  and  1857,  five  hundred  and  thirty-nine,  and  three  hundred 
and  twenty-one,  in  1857  and  1858.  But  for  all  that,  the  crisis  came,  and  the 
buildings  had  to  be  sold  to  satisfy  the  claims  of  creditors.  The  sale  was  made 
to  Francis  A.  Palmer,  of  New  York,  on  a  bid  of  $40,200.00,  and  the  college 
passed  to  the  control  of  a  close  corporation  of  twenty  trustees,  as  against  the 
original  stock-holders'  corporation.  The  money  that  paid  for  the  building,  and 
provided  $100,000.00  endowment,  came  quite  largely  from  Unitarian  sources, 
and  the  control  of  the  college  eventually  passed  into  their  hands.  The  new 
arrangement  at  the  first  provided  that  the  Christians  should  have  twelve  mem- 
bers on  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  the  Unitarians  eight,  but  this  arrangement 
did  not  long  continue  in  force,  and  the  numbers  were  reversed.  From  1877  to 
1899,  the  Christians  were  connected  with  the  college  through   The   Christian 


24  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

Educational  Society,  which  elected  the  president,  and  members  of  the  faculty. 

But  with  the  close  of  Rev.  D.  A.  Long's  presidency,  in  1899,  the  college  passed 
entirely  out  of  the  control  of  the  Christians,  except  as  such  control  might  be 
influenced  by  the  trustees  from  the  Christian  Church. 

Presidents  Mann,  Craig,  Weston,  Wait,  Long,  and  Bell  were  all  members 
of  the  Christian  Church,  and  at  this  writing,  November,  1919,  the  following- 
named  trustees  of  the  college  are  members  of  the  Christian  Church:  Rev.  Wil- 
liam M.  Dawson,  Yellow  Springs,  Ohio;  Rev.  ElCharles  Arthur  DeVore,  Indian- 
apolis, Ind.;  J.  Perry  Miller,  Yellow  Springs,  Ohio.  Doctor  Dawson  is  acting 
president  and  Mr.  Miller  is  secretary.

HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

By  Rev.  M.  Summerbell 

This  institution,  which  is  familiarly  known  as  Starkey  Seminary,  now  in 
its  eightieth  year,  is  the  oldest  school  of  the  Christians,  having  been  founded 
in  1839.  It  occupies  a  beautiful  site  in  central  New  York,  overhanging  Seneca 
Lake,  and  holds  properties  in  campus  and  farm  of  some  one  hundred  and  twelve 
acres  in  extent.  It  is  a  boarding  and  day  school,  and  prepares  for. the  best 
colleges  and  for  business  life. 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  25 

From  its  foundation,  Starkey  Seminary  has  been  conducted  "on  free  and 
liberal  principles."  Religious  ideas  were  to  be  inculcated  in  theory  and  practice, 
and  yet  they  were  not  to  be  presented  in  any  dogmatic,  formal,  or  offensive 
way.  Its  managing  officers  have  always  been  selected  from  the  Christian 
denomination,  but  its  Boards  of  Instruction  have  been  open  to  teachers  of  any 
denomination  who  were  sincerely  devout  and  well  qualified  for  the  subjects 
they  were  to  teach. 

In  consequence  of  the  training  received  in  Starkey  Seminary  many  of  its 
young  people  date  their  Christian  experience  from  its  influence,  and  others  who 
entered  its  life  as  Christians  have  had  their  religious  convictions  supported  and 
strengthened. 

The  formal  opening  of  the  Seminary  was  in  November  of  1842,  when 
Forman  Hall  was  dedicated.  The  first  principal  was  Rev.  Charles  Murgridge, 
who  later  was  succeeded  by  such  distinguished  educators  as  Edmund  Chadwick, 
O.  F.  Ingoldsby,  B.  F.  McHenry,  Alvah.  H.  Morrill,  and  G.  R.  Hammond.  The 
proportion  of  its  graduating  classes  that  have  gone  to  college  has  been  remark- 
able. Frequently  it  has  happened  that  every  student  graduated  in  a  certain 
year  has  entered  college,  university,  or  a  professional  school.  Alongside  of  this 
record  may  be  set  the  other  that  repeatedly  every  member  of  the  senior  class  has 
gone  forth  as  an  active  Christian.  The  rolls  of  the  Starkey  alumni  show  an 
extended  list  of  ministers  of  the  gospel,  missionaries,  professors,  physicians, 
lawyers,  legislators,  and  merchants,  whose  standing  in  their  respective  commun- 
ities proves  the  value  of  the  Starkey  ideal  and  of  the  training  which  has  given 
it  living  expression. 

About  twenty  years  ago  the  Seminary  received  a  fresh  impulse  by  the 
coming  of  the  late  Francis  Asbury  Palmer,  of  New  York,  and  several  of  his 
intimate  friends.  Mr.  Palmer  was  a  leading  banker  of  New  York  City  and  a 
man  who  was  intensely  interested  in  Christian  education.  In  early  life  he  was 
in  touch  with  the  Christian  Church  in  New  York  City,  and  for  several  years 
he  was  treasurer  of  The  American  Christian  Convention  and  a  member  of  its 
Executive  Board.  While  acting  in  this  latter  capacity  he  became  interested  in 
the  Seminary  and  consented  to  serve  on  its  Board  of  Trustees.  His  interest 
materialized  in  his  clearing  off  some  debts  that  had  been  embarrassing  the 
management  and  in  his  bringing  into  the  school  as  its  president  Dr.  Martyn 
Summerbell,  who  at  the  time  had  been  for  some  ten  years  pastor  of  the  college 
church  of  Bates  College  in  Maine.  He  promised  Dr.  Summerbell  to  stand  by 
the  school,  which  pledge  he  fulfilled  by  furnishing  funds  for  new  grounds  and 
buildings,  and  ultimately  by  providing  a  substantial  endowment  of  nearly  one 
hundred  thousand  dollars  for  the  maintenance  of  the  school. 

The  new  building,  Palmer  Hall,  so  named  after  the  wife  of  the  donor,  was 
opened  in  the  fall  of  1900,  and  is  a  structure  worthy  of  a  worthy  cause.  It 
houses  the  entire  school,  and  contains  the  library,  museum,  assembly  room, 
president's  office,  and  the  classrooms  on  the  main  floor,  with  some  fifty  dormi- 
tory rooms  in  the  upper  floors  for  the  students  and  teachers. 

The  recent  history  of  the  school  has  been  one  of  progress  and  prosperity. 
Its  courses  of  study  enable  it  to  prepare  its  pupils  for  the  best  colleges,  many 
of  which  accept  its  certificates  in  lieu  of  examinations.  It  also  makes  a  prac- 
tice of  employing  graduates  of  our  own  colleges  as  teachers.  For  several  years 
it  has  had  two  or  more  teachers  from  Defiance  College  and  one  or  more  from 


26  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

Elon  College.    It  has  sent  several  students  to  Defiance  College  and  now  has  one- 
in  Defiance  and  three  in  Elon. 

The  whole  atmosphere  of  the  school  is  that  of  a  well  ordered  family,  in 
which  the  traits  of  self-control,  good  manners,  and  a  sincerely  spiritual  frame 
have  their  normal  growth. 

Despite  all  the  hindrances  growing  out  of  war  conditions  the  registration 
of  students  keeps  to  the  limit  of  capacity,  and  now  for  three  summers  from 
twenty  to  thirty  applicants  have  been  refused  entrance  from  lack  of  dormitory 
space.  This  summer  every  room  for  students  was  engaged  by  the  middle  of 
August,  with  two  students  in  every  room  and  one  room  with  four.  At  the 
present  any  applicant  will  have  to  wait  for  a  possible  vacancy  before  being 
accepted. 

The  principal  want  of  the  school  now  is  for  a  new  dormitory  and  an  addi- 
tion to  the  endowment  for  the  additional  expense  which  such  a  building  would 
involve.

THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  27 

HISTORICAL    SKETCH 
By  Rev.  C.  B.  Hershey 

On  November  4,  1858,  a  convention  of  delegates  from  various  conferences 
of  the  Christian  Church  met  in  the  Christian  chapel  near  Peru,  Indiana,  "to 
consider  the  interests  of  the  Christian  Church  in  the  West  and  the  propriety  of 
erecting  an  institution  of  learning  in  the  State  of  Indiana."  The  convention 
decided  to  "recommend  the  establishment  of  an  institution  of  learning  in  the 
State  of  Indiana,  to  be  under  the  control  of  the  Christian  conferences  in  the 
State  and  vicinity."  A  committee  was  appointed  to  decide  upon  a  location  and 
to  take  all  necessary  steps  to  carry  out  the  recommendation  of  the  convention. 
The  committee  decided  upon  Merom,  Sullivan  County,  Indiana,  as  the  location, 
and  proceeded  to  erect  a  suitable  building  for  college  purposes.  The  school 
was  opened  for  students  September  9,  1860. 

The  purpose  of  the  college  is  to  extend  to  young  men  and  women,  on  equal 
terms,  the  benefits  of  a  liberal  education.  Its  curricula  are  arranged  so  as  to 
provide  preparation  for  advanced  professional  training  and  service,  and  to 
furnish  that  broad  culture  which  should  be  the  possession  of  every  intelligent 
man  and  woman.  The  methods  of  instruction  are  those  that  educational  experi- 
ence has  approved. 

Rev.  Nicholas  Summerbell,  I).  I).,  was  chosen  first  president.  He  served 
during  a  period  of  eight  years,  a  part  of  which  time  he  was  granted  a  leave 
of  absence  to  serve  in  the  army  as  chaplain.  Dr.  Summerbell  was  an  author 
and  a  lecturer  of  some  note.  His  writings  were  largely  in  the  field  of  church 
history.  His  son,  Joseph  J.  Summerbell,  was  the  first  graduate  from  this  insti- 
tution, receiving  the  degree  B.  A.  in  1864. 

Dr.  Summerbell  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  Thomas  Holmes,  I).  I).  Dr.  Holmes 
gave  his  time  largely  to  theological  and  philosophical  questions.  He  was  a  man 
of  scholarly  attainments  and  was  strict  disciplinarian.  Men  and  women  who 
were  students  under  Dr.  Holmes  frequently  speak  of  his  administration  as  the 
days  of  rigid  but  wholesome  discipline. 

Rev.  Thomas  Corwin  Smith,  D.  D.,  Denver,  Colorado,  and  E'isha  Mudge, 
D.  D.,  served  as  presidents  in  the  late  seventies  and  eighties. 

In  1887,  Rev.  L.  J.  Aldrich,  D.  D.,  was  elected  president.  He  served  in  that 
capacity  for  eighteen  years.  His  administration  was  prosperous,  and  during 
the  years  of  his  presidency,  his  rugged  honesty  and  sane  optimism  entered 
largely  into  the  lives  of  many  young  men  and  women. 

During  later  years  the  following  men  have  served  as  presidents  of  the 
college:  C.  J.  Jones,  D.  D.,  1905-1907;  G.  R.  Hammond,  Th.  I).,  acting  president, 
1907-1908;  O.  B.  Whitaker,  D.  D.,  1908-1911;  D.  A.  Long,  M.  A.,  LL.  D.,  1911- 
1915.     The  present  incumbent,  C.  B.  Hershey,  D.  D.,  began  his  work  in  1915. 

The  college  has  always  sought  to  provide  a  moral  and  religious  atmosphere 
that  would  be  conducive  to  wholesome  living,  and  to  the  formation  of  right  ideals 
for  life.  In  addition  to  a  strict  regard  for  the  character  of  the  classroom  work, 
the  personal  habits  and  life  of  the  individual  student  have  always  been  jeal- 
ously guarded. 

The  college  has  always  sought  to  be  sound  educationally.  It  held  a  large 
place  in  the  educational  life  of  Indiana  during  the  latter  part  of  the  nineteenth 
century. 

The  contribution  of  the  college  to  public  life  has  been,  in  many  instances, 
of  a  conspicuous  character.     W.  C  Tearce,  '87,  is  probably  "the  most  popular 


28  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

Sunday-school  man  in  the  world,"  and  is  now  leading  the  way  for  a  definite 
and  comprehensive  program  of  religious  education.  Two  of  its  graduates  were 
members  of  the  last  Congress.  Union  Christian  graduates  are  to  be  found  in 
every  honorable  profession  and  business.  The  men  and  women  who  have  at- 
tended the  college  have  honored  the  institution  by  their  successful  efforts  in 
their  chosen  work.  An  unusually  large  per  cent,  has  been  conspicuously  suc- 
cessful, and  are  now  making  their  full  contribution  to  civic  righteousness  and 
community  betterment.

HISTORICAL    SKETCH 
By  F.  G.  Coffin 

Palmer  College,  now  of  Albany,  Missouri,  was  founded  at  Legrand,  Iowa,  in 
1865,  under  the  name  of  the  Lagrand  Christian  Institute.  The  agitation  which 
resulted  in  its  establishment  originated  with  Rev.  J.  P.  Watson,  D.  D.,  that  seer 
of  the  Christian  Church,  whose  genius  and  devotion  were  responsible  for  so 
many  great  movements  in  the  denomination.  His  plan  was  aided  by  Rev.  D.  M. 
Lines,  who  became  the  first  principal  of  the  institution. 

The  first  bui'ding,  consisting  of  seven  rooms  and  a  chapel,  was  erected 
in  1867,  at  a  cost  of  ten  thousand  dollars  cash  and  much  uncomputed  labor  and 
material  by  donation.  There  was  also  an  endowment  of  thirteen  thousand  dol- 
lars. 

In  1868,  Prof.  Lines  was  succeeded  in  the  principalship  of  the  school  by 
Rev.  0.  A.  Roberts.  Financial  difficulties  caused  the  omission  of  sessions  from 
1870  to  1873  after  which  it  was  re-opened  with  Rev.  F.  R.  Wade  as  principal. 


THE     CHRISTIAN    ANNUAL  29 

He  was  soon  followed  in  the  position  by  Prof.  Chas.  Ellison,  who  was  succeeded 
by  Rev.  J.  Q.  Evans. 

In  1878  an  addition,  forty  by  one  hundred  feet,  was  built  to  the  original 
plant.  The  corner  stone  of  the  new  structure  was  laid  by  Dr.  N.  Summerbell. 
During  the  erection  of  the  building  school  was  necessarily  suspended.  Many 
delays  due  to  financial  and  other  causes  were  experienced.  The  situation 
was  further  aggravated  by  a  cyclone  which  ripped  off  the  roof  and  did  much 
other  damage  to  the  building.  The  brethren  were  confronted  with  an  indebted- 
ness of  almost  three  thousand  dollars  and  the  building  which  was  responsible  for 
it  was  still  unusable.  Before  their  battered  spirits  could  revive,  the  property 
was  sold  at  sheriff's  sale.  Rev.  W.  C.  Smith  then  entered  the  field  to  raise 
money  for  the  redemption  of  the  property.  This,  by  a  great  effort,  he  was  able 
to  do. 

After  these  experiences  it  was  not  until  1889  that  the  school  was  able  to 
re-open,  this  time  under  the  presidency  of  Dr.  D.  M.  Helfenstein.  The 
name  of  the  institution  was  changed  to  Lagrand  Christian  College  and  re-char- 
tered under  that  title.  The  storm-wrecked  portion  of  the  building  was  razed, 
a  new  addition  built,  the  old  building  remodeled,  a  heating  plant  installed,  and 
everything  about  the  plant  put  in  good  order. 

In  1897  Hon.  Francis  A.  Palmer  gave  thirty  thousand  dollars  toward 
endowing  the  school,  on  condition  that  the  Iowa  State  Christian  Conference 
which  held  the  title  to  the  property  should  raise  twenty  thousand  dollars  for 
the  same  purpose.  The  proposition  was  accepted  and  the  conditions  met.  In 
appreciation  of  this  gift  the  name  of  the  college  was  in  the  same  year  changed 
to  Palmer  College. 

Dr.  Helfenstein  concluded  his  official  relationship  in  1899,  after  ten  years 
of  successful  service  for  the  school.  He  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  Carlyle  Sum- 
merbell, who  continued  in  the  position  for  seven  years,  or  until  1906.  Following 
his  administration,  Prof.  Harry  Haas,  Dean,  directed  the  affairs  of  the  school 
for  one  year,  then  Rev.  Ercy  C.  Kerr  accepted  the  presidency,  remaining  for  a 
period  of  four  years. 

Rev.  E.  A.  Watkins  came  to  the  presidency  in  1911.  The  following  year  it 
appeared  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  that  a  larger  and  less  competitive  territory 
would  increase  the  usefulness  of  the  school.  Accordingly,  the  Legrand  plant  was 
sold,  the  school  consolidated  with  Kansas  Christian  College  and  located  at 
Albany,  Missouri.  In  the  new  location  it  acquired  an  original  school  plant,  now 
known  as  the  Administration  Building,  valued  at  one  hundred  thousand  dollars. 
In  1916  Kansas  Hall,  a  ladies'  dormitory  and  gymnasium,  was  erected  at  a  cost 
of  fifty  thousand  dollars.  This  building  has  been  declared  by  unbiased  school 
men  to  be  one  of  the  best  of  its  kind  in  the  State. 

The  school  operated  in  a  flourishing  condition  until  depleted  of  many  of 
its  professors  and  students  by  the  world  war.  Because  of  these  drains  it  was 
thought  best  to  discontinue  the  literary  departments  for  the  period  of  the  war. 
Plans  were  made  to  continue  the  College  of  Fine  Arts  and  Commercial  work. 
Shortly  after  this  the  government  draft  took  the  heads  of  these  departments, 
thus  forcing  a  closing  which  occurred  January  1,  1918.  Under  these  conditions 
President  Watkins  retired  from  the  work. 

At  the  close  of  the  war,  steps  were  taken  toward  the  opening  of  the  college. 
A  financial  agent,  in  the  person  of  Rev.  F.  E.  Rockwell,  was  placed  in  the  field 


30  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

to  raise  an  added  endowment  of  two  hundred  fifty  thousand  dollars.  At  the 
time  this  matter  goes  to  publication  the  campaign  is  progressing  with  every 
assurance  of  success.  On  August  1,  1919,  Dr.  F.  G.  Coffin,  of  Albany,  N.  Y., 
assumed  the  presidency. 

Many  and  loyal  have  been  the  friends  of  Palmer  College.  Among  these 
in  the  early  days  were  Mr.  and  Mrs.  A.  T.  Coate  to  whose  sacrifices,  with  lesser 
ones  of  many  others,  may  be  attributed  the  existence  of  the  school  originally. 
In  1889  Rev.  J.  W.  Piper,  of  Legrand,  became  president  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees, which  position  he  has  held  continuously  since  that  time.  He  has  been  the 
moving  spirit  in  all  college  interests  during  his  administration.  To  Mr.  A.  S. 
Lynn  belongs  the  credit  of  assuring  the  fifty  thousand  dollars  of  added  endow- 
ment through  the  Palmer  gift.  Many  others  have  made  sacrifices  and  achieve- 
ments worthy  of  note,  but  limited  space  forbids  mention  here.  They  worked 
not  for  personal  credit,  nor  would  they  regret  its  omission. 

From  the  beginning  and  through  changing  administrations  the  school  man- 
agement has  considered  its  chief  mission  the  production  of  Christian  leaders. 
Among  Palmer's  graduates  are  those  who  have  been  called  to  the  highest  places 
of  church,  state,  school,  and  business.  They  have  filled  them  with  efficiency 
and  grace.  The  institution  has  no  reason  for  apology  because  of  its  product. 
This  has  always  been  of  superlative  quality  and  has  compared  more  than 
favorably  in  the  most  severe  competitions.  The  school  has  supplied  many 
efficient  workers  to  our  church  field.  The  loss  to  the  work  of  the  Christian 
Church  in  the  West  without  Palmer  College  can  only  be  conjectured. 

The  college  is  at  present  standardized  in  harmony  with  the  requirements 
of  the  University  of  Missouri  and  has  been  officially  accredited  in  all  particulars 
by  that  institution.  Courses  are  offered  in  Preparatory  and  Junior  Collegiate 
departments,  Religious  Education,  Home  Economics,  Music,  Expression,  Art  and 
Commercial  Science. 

The  faculty  for  this  year  is  composed  of  fourteen  members  and  is  the 
strongest  ever  assembled  in  the  history  of  the  school.  Most  of  them  are 
university  trained,  some  of  them  bearing  unique  university  distinctions. 

Notwithstanding  the  universal  increase  in  prices,  the  fees  in  college  and 
dormitory  remain  as  heretofore.  Board  is  being  furnished  at  four  dollars  per 
week.  The  total  cost  of  a  course  in  the  Collegiate,  Academic,  Education,  or  Com- 
mercial Departments  should  not  exceed  three  hundred  dollars  per  year. 

Albany  is  a  beautiful  county-seat  city,  easy  of  access  by  three  lines  of 
railroad.  Its  residents  are  cultured  and  refined.  No  bad  influences  threaten  the 
welfare  of  the  students.  The  college  and  community  unite  to  make  the  student 
surroundings  safe,  pleasant,  and  profitable.  The  college  buildings  are  ideally 
located  on  a  high  point  overlooking  the  city.  They  are  commodious,  well 
adapted,  and  modern  in  every  particular.  The  dormitories  are  electrically  light- 
ed, well  heated  and  ventilated,  equipped  with  baths,  gymnasium,  swimming  pool, 
and  all  modern  conveniences.  The  laboratories,  studios,  library,  and  classrooms 
are  completely  equipped  for  the  work  to  be  done  in  them. 

Palmer  College  means  to  serve  the  Christian  Church,  especially  in  the 
West.  Its  management  conceives  this  as  the  purpose  of  its  existence.  The 
school  is  seeking  out  and  preparing  young  men  and  women  for  life  service  for 
Christ.  One  in  every  fifteen  of  its  student  body  is  preparing  for  such  life  work. 
The  atmosphere  is  spiritual  and  at  all  times  conducive  to  the  highest  ideals.

DEFIANCE  COLLEGE 

(Historical  Sketch) 

By  Rev.  Geo.  C.  Enders,  Dean 

It  took  the  institution  now  known  as  Defiance  College  more  than  half  a 
century  to  find  itself  and  to  get  started.  It  may  be  said  to  have  been  born  on 
March  23,  1850,  when  the  legislature  of  Ohio  passed  a  special  act  incorporating 
the  Defiance  Female  Seminary  and  making  a  grant  of  1,280  acres  of  canal  lands 
for  its  establishment.  This  land  was  sold  and  by  means  of  the  proceeds  a  lot 
on  the  site  of  the  present  campus  was  secured  and  in  1884  the  large  brick 
building  now  known  as  Defiance  Hail  was  erected  and  equipped.  During  the 
following  fifteen  years  various  attempts  were  made  to  conduct  a  school  in  this 
building,  but  with  only  indifferent  success.  Finally  Dr.  John  R.  Latchaw,  who 
had  become  president  of  the  institution  in  1896,  conceived  the  idea  of  interesting 
the  Christian  Church  in  the  founding  of  a  real  college  to  take  the  place  of  the 
so-called  Defiance  Female  Seminary.  To  this  end,  in  1901,  he  prevailed  upon 
Rev.  P.  W.  McReynolds,  then  the  pastor  of  the  Christian  Church  at  Marshall, 
Michigan,  to  come  to  Defiance  and  become  dean  of  the  faculty.  With  the  same 
object  in  view  he  also  secured  as  dean  of  women  Miss  Adelia  Wilson,  then  a 
professor  in  the  Christian  college  at  Legrand,  Iowa.  In  1902,  Dr.  Latchaw 
resigned  to  accept  the  presidency  of  another  institution  and  the  outlook  for 
the  future  of  the  Defiance  Female  Seminary,  to  say  the  least,  was  not  encour- 
aging. 

However,  at  the  earnest  solicitation  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  Dean  Mc- 
Reynolds  accepted  the  responsibility  as  President,  and  with  the  enthusiasm  and 
self-sacrifice  that  characterized  all  his  work  for  the  college  gave  himself  heart 
and  soul  to  the  task.  In  September,  1902,  school  opened  with  thirty-three 
students  and  four  teachers.  Plans  were  set  in  motion  for  raising  an  endowment 
fund  of  $30,000.  By  spring  of  the  following  year  $10,000  of  this  amount  had 
been  subscribed  by  the  citizens  of  Defiance  and  the  remaining  $20,000  had  been 
pledged  under  the  auspices  of  the  Ohio   State  Christian  Association,  and   on 


32  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

July  13,  1903,  an  amended  charter  was  secured  from  the  State  transferring 
the  property  of  the  Defiance  Female  Seminary  to  the  Ohio  State  Christian  Asso- 
ciation and  changing  the  name  to  the  Defiance  College. 

With  this  reorganization  the  real  history  of  Defiance  College  begins  and 
from  this  point  its  story  is  a  twofold  record;  on  the  one  hand  it  is  the  story 
of  struggle,  of  noble  self-sacrifice,  and  of  heroic  devotion  to  the  cause  of  Chris- 
tian education;  on  the  other  hand  it  is  the  story  of  continued  achievement,  of 
constant  and  uniform  growth,  in  natural  resources  in  student  enrolment,  and 
in  educational  prestige. 

Space  permits  the  giving  of  little  more  than  a  catalogue  of  the  principal 
events  which  characterizetd  this  growth.  Trowbridge  Hall,  largely  the  gift 
of  Lyman  Trowbridge,  of  Defiance,  was  erected  in  1905,  burned  in  1906,  but 
enlarged  and  rebuilt  in  the  same  year.  Weston  Hall,  named  in  honor  of 
Dr.  John  B.  Weston,  and  designed  to  be  the  home  of  the  Christian  Biblical 
Institute,  which  had  been  brought  from  New  York  in  1907,  was  erected  in  1908, 
furnishing  for  both  the  institute  and  the  college  an  auditorium  and  certain  class- 
rooms. The  hearty  co-operation  of  these  two  institutions  added  greatly  to  the 
influence  of  each.  The  Sutphen  Memorial  Home  for  the  President,  the  gift  of 
the  heirs  of  the  late  Judge  Sutphen,  was  built  in  1910.  Before  this  building  was 
completed  work  was  begun  on  a  new  dormitory  for  men.  This  large  building 
known  as  Sisson  Hall,  was  completed  in  1911.  It  is  a  fitting  memorial  of  the 
late  Anna  B.  Sission,  and  is  largely  the  gift  of  her  sister,  Mrs.  Ardella  Engle- 
Blade.  In  1913,  at  the  expense  of  $10,000,  almost  the  whole  of  which  was 
contributed  by  members  of  the  faculty,  an  addition  was  built  to  Weston  Hall 
and  a  fine  pipe  organ  installed.  In  1916,  the  central  heating  plant  was  con- 
structed and  two  years  later  there  was  completed  the  magnificent  new  Tenzer 
Science  Hall,  made  possible  by  the  generosity  of  Trustee  and  Mrs.  H.  B.  Tenzer, 
of  Defiance. 

The  growth  in  endowment,  which  now  amounts  to  $430,000,  has  been  equally 
encouraging.  It  is  primarily  the  result  of  many  small  gifts.  There  have  been, 
however,  several  large  gifts  among  the  donors,  of  which  the  following  may  be 
mentioned:  Dr.  Weston,  Mrs.  Engle-Blade,  the  McReynolds  family,  the  Sutphen 
family,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  H.  B.  Tenzer,  Mr.  C.  C.  Kuhn,  and  Mrs.  Martha  McGrew. 

But  the  material  growth,  rapid  and  encouraging  as  it  has  been,  has  not  kept 
pace  with  growth  along  other  lines.  The  needs  occasioned  by  the  constantly 
increasing  opportunities  for  enlarged  service  have  developed  far  more  rapidly 
than  the  means  with  which  to  meet  them,  so  that  the  problem  of  financing  the 
institution  is  becoming  constantly  more  difficult. 

•  Although  it  is  only  seventeen  years  since  Defiance  College  was  re-organized, 
in  that  time  293  persons  have  been  graduated  from  courses  leading  to  degrees, 
or  from  full  courses  in  music  and  art. 

In  conclusion,  it  should  be  noted  that  not  the  least  important  factor  in  the 
success  of  Defiance  College  has  been  its  unique  organization,  initiated  and  for 
many  years  directed  and  seemingly  dominated  by  that  genius  of  organization, 
President  McReynolds,  but  so  heartily  supported  by  the  faculty  that  when,  by 
tragic  accident,  the  college  was  suddenly  deprived  of  its  leader,  certain  changes 
in  the  organization  were  made  necessary,  as  for  instance  the  election  of  a  new 
president  in  the  person  of  Dean  A.  G.  Caris,  Litt.  D.,  the  work  went  right  on 
with  no  sign  of  arrested  progress,  but  with  every  indication  of  greatly  enlarged 
usefulness. 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  33 

THE    CHRISTIAN    DIVINITY    SCHOOL 

(Historical  Sketch) 

By  Rev.  Geo.  C.  Enders,  Dean 

The  initial  measures  for  the  establishment  of  the  Christian  Biblical  Insti- 
tute were  taken  by  The  American  Christian  Convention  in  its  quadrennial  ses- 
sion at  Marshall,  Michigan,  in  October,  1866.  This  action  was  the  result  of  a 
growing  conviction  of  the  necessity  of  special  educational  training  for  the  min- 
istry. At  this  session  a  Board  of  Trustees  was  elected  and  charged  with  the 
duty  of  the  establishment  and  control  of  an  institution  for  that  purpose. 

In  April,  1868,  a  charter  for  "The  Christian  Biblical  Institute"  was  obtained 
from  the  State  of  New  York,  measures  were  taken  for  the  raising  of  funds,  and 
Rev.  Austin  Craig,  D.  D.,  was  elected  President.  In  October  of  the  following 
year  the  institute  was  opened  for  students  in  Eddytown  (now  Lakemont),  New 
York,  where  it  continued  its  educational  work  until  1872,  when  it  was  removed 
to  Stanfordville,  New  York.  Near  this  village  of  charming  surroundings,  in 
the  extreme  eastern  part  of  the  State,  and  far  removed  from  schools  of  higher 
learning,  a  farm,  with  buildings  sufficient  for  temporary  accommodations  for 
the  school,  had  been  purchased.  Within  the  next  two  years,  through  the  munifi- 
cence of  Hon.  David  Clark,  two  substantial  additional  buildings  were  erected. 

In  this  place  the  Christian  Biblical  Institute  for  nine  years  was  under  the 
management  of  its  scholarly,  Christian  President,  Austin  Craig,  whose  sweet- 
ness of  spirit,  thoroughness  of  preparation  and  brilliancy  of  intellect,  drew 
students  from  various  States  and  from  Canada.  Dr.  Craig's  method  of  instruc- 
tion was  by  lecture.  This  made  special  preparation  unnecessary  and  made  it 
possible  for  students  to  enter  and  leave  at  any  time,  carrying  with  them  such 
good  as  they  had  obtained.  Dr.  Craig  died  suddenly  in  1881,  and  when  his 
successor,  the  beloved  Dr.  J.  B.  Weston,  had  been  inducted  into  office,  a  three 
years'  course  was  instituted,  involving  class  work  for  which  preparation  was 
needed.  The  need  of  provision  for  such  preparatory  work  now  became  apparent. 
And  as  the  requirements  both  of  the  curriculum  and  of  preparation  for  it  were 
advanced  the  evidence  of  the  lack  became  stronger  and  stronger.  To  give 
academic  training  in  purely  high  school  and  college  subjects  was  not  the  pur- 
pose for  which  the  institute  was  founded,  and  consequently  the  need  of  prox- 
imity to  some  literary  institution  where  this  work  could  be  done  without  cost 
to  the  institute,  was  keenly  felt. 

In  1907,  through  the  efficient  management  of  Dr.  P.  W.  McReynolds,  Presi- 
dent of  Defiance  College,  the  trustees  of  that  institution,  backed  by  the  citizens 
of  Defiance,  offered  to  the  Christian  Biblical  Institute,  on  condition  of  its 
removal  to  Defiance,  a  deed  in  fee  simple  of  land  from  their  campus  sufficient 
for  a  building,  and  $10,000  towards  the  expense  of  erecting  it.  The  proposition 
was  accepted  and  the  institute  was  removed  1  >  Defiance.  The  two  institutions, 
located  upon  the  same  campus,  worked  in  peril  :t  harmony  and  mutual  co-opera- 
tion, Dr.  McReynolds  acting  as  President,  and  Dr.  Weston  acting  as  Chancellor 
of  both  the  institute  and  the  college.  In  1912,  Dr.  G.  C.  Enders  was  elected 
Dean  of  the  institute,  and  in  1916  the  Christian  Biblical  Institute  was  consoli- 
dated with  Defiance  College  and  the  name  was  changed  to  the  Christian  Divinity 
School.

As  this  article  is  written,  the  prospects  for  the  present  term  are  brighter 
than  for  the  past  three  years.  We  have  more  applications  than  for  two  previous 
years  together.  "We  trust  there  will  not  come  another  epidemic  that  we  may  have 
a  successful  term. 

The  colored  membership  of  the  Christian  Church  is  made  up  very  largely  of 
farmers.  Many  of  these  farmers  are  renters  who  have  to  pay  exorbitant  rent, 
and  the  children  are  compelled  to  remain  home  until  the  crop  is  harvested.  This 
prevents  many  from  entering  on  the  opening  day.  The  students  body  is  never 
completed  before  January   1. 

We  are  pushing  the  industrial  work  this  year  because  we  have  come  to 
believe  after  three  years  of  study  and  experience  that  the  students  are  in  need 
of  a  good  industrial  education  to  fit  them  to  meet  the  demands  of  the  age.  We 
do  not  mean  to  infer  that  we  have  discontinued  our  literary  work — that  is  being 
raised  every  year  gradually,  but  the  industrial  work  is  receiving  special  attention. 

We  believe  that  with  proper  co-operation  on  the  part  of  all  concerned  Frank- 
linton Christian  College  will  do  a  greater  work  than  it  has  ever  done.  Unless 
there  is  that  co-operation  Franklinton  Christian  College  is  bound  to  succumb,  as 
we  are  surrounded  by  many  like  institutions  which  are  supported  by  very  much 
larger  and  stronger  denominations.  Shall  we  permit  ourselves  to  go  under,  or 
shall  we  stand  loyally  behind  this  work?

HISTORICAL    SKETCH 
By  Rev.  H.  E.  Long 

Soon  after  the  close  of  the  war  between  the  States  the  colored  Christians, 
having  been  formerly  members  of  the  white  Christian  churches,  were  separated 
from  the  white  churches  and  organized  into  the  colored  Christian  church. 
Prominent  among  the  white  ministers  who  assisted  in  organizing  the  colored 
churches  were:  Rev.  J.  W.  Wellons,  Franklinton,  North  Carolina;  Dr.  D.  A. 
Long,  of  Graham,  North  Carolina;  Dr.  W.  B.  Wellons,  of  Suffolk,  Va.,  and  Rev. 
H.  0.  Hayes. 

In  the  year  1866  it  was  found  that  a  sufficient  number  of  churches  had  been 
organized  to  form  a  conference  of  colored  brethren,  and  the  Southern  Christian 
Convention  appointed  a  committee  consisting  of  Rev.  J.  W.  Wellons  and  others 
to  organize  the  colored  conference,  which  was  done  in  the  city  of  Raleigh, 
October,  1867.  From  that  time  the  number  of  churches  increased  rapidly  and 
when  the  colored  conference  met  at  Burchetts  Chapel,  Warren  County,  in 
1872,  the  brethren  had  a  vision. 

S.  L.  Long,  of  Franklinton,  a  lay  member  (father  of  H.  E.  Long),  intro- 
duced a  resolution  to  establish  a  school  at  Franklinton,  N.  C,  for  the  purpose 
of  educating  young  men  for  the  ministry.  The  next  year  he  advocated  the 
cause. 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  35 

H.  E.  Long  was  appointed  principal  of  the  public  school  for  colored  children 
in  the  year  1878.  The  school  was  moved  from  the  Presbyterian  church  to  the 
Christian  church  (there  was  no  public  schoolhouse  at  that  time)  and  the  North 
Carolina  and  Virginia  conferences  appointed  a  school  board  to  look  after  the 
matter  of  establishing  a  school  for  the  Christian  church.  This  board  ordered 
H.  E.  Long  to  begin  this  school  in  combination  with  the  public  school  November, 
1878,  under  the  title,  Franklinton  Christian  Institute. 

Rev.  G.  W.  Dunn,  of  Raleigh,  N.  C,  was  then  pastor  of  the  Franklinton 
Christian  Church  and  a  frequent  guest  at  the  home  of  S.  L.  Long  where  they 
spent  much  time  on  the  subject  of  educating  the  young  men  and  young  women 
of  the  church.  While  visiting  in  the  home  of  Mr.  W.  H.  Long  and  wife, 
prominent  members  of  the  Christian  church,  Rev.  Dunn  found  a  copy  of  the 
"Golden  Censor,"  a  paper  published  somewhere  in  the  State  of  Maine.  Rev. 
Dunn  thought  it  a  Christian  paper,  therefore  he  wrote  the  editor  of  the  paper, 
who  in  turn  published  the  letter.  Rev.  W.  O.  Cushing,  a  Christian  minister,  read 
the  published  letter  and  sent  the  clipping  to  the  editor  of  The  Herald  of  Gospel 
Liberty  who  published  the  same. 

This  letter  awakened  interest  among  many  northern  friends,  among  whom 
were  Dr.  Austin  Craig,  Rev.  J.  E.  Brush,  of  New  York  State;  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
John  G.  Wilson,  of  Philadelphia. 

Dr.  J.  P.  Watson,  Secretary  of  Children's  Mission,  took  the  school  at 
Franklinton  under  his  supervision  as  a  mission  and  secured  the  services  of 
Rev.  Geo.  C.  Young,  of  Carlisle,  N.  Y.,  to  teach  young  colored  men  preparing 
for  the  gospel  ministry.     Dr.  Young  arrived  in  Franklinton,  October,  1880. 

Buildings. 

Rev.  J.  P.  Watson  issued  an  appeal  for  $2,500  for  the  purpose  of  erecting  a 
school  building,  and  at  the  same  time  asked  the  colored  Christians  to  raise 
sufficient  funds  to  purchase  a  site  for  the  school  building  and  to  build  a  house 
for  the  principal  of  the  school. 

During  the  year  1881  the  colored  people,  with  the  aid  of  their  white  friends 
in  their  community,  purchased  a  site  for  $300,  and  built  the  principal's  home 
at  a  cost  of  $700.  The  amount  requested  by  Dr.  Watson  was  raised  by  the 
white  friends  of  the  North.  The  corner  stone  of  the  school  building  was  laid, 
Dr.  J.  P.  Barrett  officiating,  address  by  Dr.  McManany  of  the  white  Baptist 
church,  Franklinton.  Two  buildings  were  soon  completed  and  the  school  was 
moved  from  the  church  and  into  the  new  school  building  January  1,  1882,  under 
the  name  (by  Rev.  J.  P.  Watson)  "Franklinton  Theological  and  Literary 
Institute." 

Gaylord  Hall. 

The  third  building,  the  girls'  home,  was  the  gift  of  Mrs.  Emily  G.  Wilson, 
of  Philadelphia,  who  sent  the  first  $100  for  the  support  of  the  school  and  paid 
$200  for  an  adjoining  lot  and  $1,800  to  build  and  furnish  the  house  for  girls. 
She  also  left  $400  endowment  for  the  school. 

When  The  American  Christian  Convention  met  at  New  Bedford  in  1886 
the  school  was  placed  under  the  supervision  of  a  Board  of  Control. 

Administration. 

Rev.  Geo.  C.  Young,  Carlisle,  N.  Y.,  1880-1887,  buildings  erected;  Rev.  C.  A. 
Beck,  Philadelphia,  1888-1889;  Rev.  J.  F.  Ullery,  Urbana,  Ohio,  1890-1891,  school

In  1906,  Rev.  H.  E.  Long,  President  of  the  school,  and  Rev.  Jas.  L.  Foster, 
a  member  of  the  Board  of  Control,  were  appointed  to  purchase  a  new  site  for 
the  school.  They  bought  a  parcel  of  land,  821-2  acres,  near  the  town  of  Frank- 
linton, N.  C,  at  a  cost  of  $1,500,  of  which  sum  the  colored  people  paid  $500, 
the  balance  was  paid  by  white  friends  through  the  efforts  of  Rev.  John  Blood, 
affectionately  called  the  Guardian  Angel  of  Franklinton.  The  Board  of  Control 
has  constructed  a  large  four-story  concrete  building  costing  about  $50,000.  The 
old  school  site  and  buildings  were  sold  for  $3,500,  and  the  money  used  in  helping 
to  erect  the  new  building. 

The  Woman's  Home  Mission  Board  of  The  American  Christian  Convention 
has  done  some  special  work  for  the  college.  That  board  has  built  a  beautiful 
cottage — known  as  Bishop  Cottage — a  home  for  the  president  and  for  the  use 
of  the  Board  of  Control. 


KANSAS  CHRISTIAN  COLLEGE 
By  Rev.  C.  G.  Nelson,  M.  A. 

Along  in  the  early  eighties,  the  leaders  of  the  various  Christian  conferences 
in  Kansas,  felt  the  need  of  a  better  educated  ministry.  Resolutions  also  show 
that  they  considered  it  advisable  to  educate  their  children  under  Christian 
influence.  We  find  in  many  resolutions  on  education  that  our  Christian  colleges 
farther  east  were  endorsed  and  young  ministers  urged  to  attend;  but  on 
account  of  the  distance  there  was  a  feeling  that  a  college  in  Kansas  was  needed. 

At  the  third  annual  session  of  Kansas  State  Christian  Conference,  Novem- 
ber 8,  1883,  at  Towanda,  Kansas,  a  committee  was  appointed  to  raise  funds  for 
a  Christian  college  to  be  established  at  Madison,  Kansas.  In  the  spring  of 
1884  the  trustees  of  the  Kansas  State  Conference  were  called  to  meet  at 
Cottonwood  Falls,  Kansas.  At  this  meeting  several  places  were  suggested 
and  discussed  as  possible  sites  for  the  college.  Through  the  influence  of  Rev. 
J.  J.  Hillman,  Lincoln,  Kansas,  was  chosen  as  the  site.  During  the  summer  of 
1884  students  were  solicited  and  the  college  organized  in  the  fall,  with  Rev. 
Thomas  Bartlett  as  its  first  president  and  Rev.  George  Tenny  as  instructor. 
The  school  during  these  first  years  was  conducted  in  the  Baptist  church  and 
Cummins  building  in  Lincoln,  Kansas.  President  Bartlett  secured  a  ten-acre 
building  site  on  the  edge  of  Lincoln,  then  a  prairie  town  without  a  railroad. 
The  corner  stone  was  laid  July  23,  1885. 

Rev.  Thomas  Bartlett  was  president  for  a  term  of  eight  years.  He  was 
followed  by  Rev.  E.  Cameron,  who  was  president  for  a  term  of  three  years. 
The  main  efforts  of  these  eleven  years  were  the  securing  of  funds  for  the 
running  expense  of  the  college  and  the  erection  of  the  building.  Dr.  O.  B. 
Whitaker,  Cameron's  successor,  served  as  president  for  a  term  of  thirteen 
years.  When  President  Whitaker  took  charge  of  the  school  it  was  heavily  in 
debt,  and  some  of  the  building  was  still  unfinished.  President  Whitaker  suc- 
ceeded in  clearing  the  college  of  indebtedness.  Rev.  George  R.  Stoner  suc- 
ceeded Whitaker  as  president,  and  served  for  a  term  of  four  years.     President 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  37 

Stoner  conducted  a  very  successful  school  but  had  no  chances  of  making  it 
grow,  on  account  of  financial  burdens.  For  while  the  college  had  no  debts,  it 
did  not  have  an  endowment,  and  in  that  day,  from  1906  to  1910,  no  college 
could  be  operated  on  the  income  from  tuition.  Rev.  C.  G.  Nelson  followed 
Stoner  as  president  for  a  term  of  two  years.  President  Nelson  proposed  to 
the  Board  of  Trustees  at  their  annual  meeting  in  the  spring  of  1912,  that  since 
the  college  was  now  clear  of  indebtedness,  and  that  with  our  present  con- 
stituency we  could  not  raise  a  sufficient  endowment  to  make  our  college  in 
Kansas  an  accredited  institution;  that  we  unite  our  forces  in  the  movement 
that  was  then  in  progress  to  locate  Palmer  College,  of  Legrand,  Iowa,  at  Albany, 
Missouri,  and  to  unite  our  educational  interests  of  Iowa,  Missouri,  Nebraska, 
and  Kansas  at  that  place.  This  was  accomplished  in  the  spring  of  1913,  with 
which  action  Kansas  Christian  College  terminated  its  existence  as  such. 


WEAUBLEAU  CHRISTIAN  COLLEGE 

(Historical  Sketch) 

By  Rev.  O.  B.  Whitaker 

I  find  the  following  in  the  preface  to  the  catalogue  of  Weaubleau  Christian 
College,  1902-1903,  written  by  its  founder  and  for  a  generation  its  president: 

On  the  first  day  of  January,  1868,  at  a  church  meeting  held  on  Weaubleau 
prairie,  it  was  voted,  "That  a  house.  24x32,  two  stories  high,  be  built,  the  lower 
story  be  used  for  a  chapel,  the  upper  for  an  academy,  to  be  controlled  by  the 
Christian  Church.'"  The  house  was  built  26x40  feet.  The  corner  stone  was 
laid  in  July,  1869.  The  school  was  begun  with  five  students,  October,  1871,  out 
"on  the  lone  prairie."  The  school  was  continued  in  "the  Old  Brick"  for  twenty 
years,  when  it  was  transferred  to  the  new  and  more  commodious  brick  building 
which  stands  on  higher  ground  about  four  hundred  yards  northwest  of  the 
"Old  Brick." 

Thirty  years  have  passed  since  the  doors  of  this  school  have  been  thrown 
open  to  the  youths  of  the  country.  A  thrifty  town  has  sprung  up  on  the  "wild 
prairie"  around  the  "Old  Brick."  The  "iron  horse"  with  magic  speed  regularly 
comes  and  goes  with  its  cargoes  of  human  beings  and  merchandise. 

Another  geenration  is  coming  rapidly  to  supercede  the  one  that  founded 
the  school.  Yet  the  school  survives  and  prospers.  About  two  thousand  students 
have  received  instruction  here.  Twenty-three  classes  with  an  aggregate  of 
eighty  young  men  and  women  have  graduated  from  this  school.  Weaubleau 
College  has  furnished  superintendents  and  principals  for  the  schools  of  St. 
Louis,  Kansas  City,  Nebraska  City,  Omaha,  Nevada,  Rich  Hill,  Harrisonville, 
Lincoln,  Ash  Grove,  Appleton  City,  Humansville,  Osceola,  Schell  City,  Deep- 
water,  Stockton,  La  Monte,  Houston,  Cabool,  Cole  Camp,  and  many  other  towns 
and  cities,  besides  college,  academy,  graded,  and  high  school  instructors.  The 
various  professions  and  business  colleges  have  among  their  leading  representa- 
tives students  of  Weaubleau  Christian  College. 

To-day  the  author  of  the  above  modest  lines  sleeps  in  the  church  yard 
beside  the  beautiful  Christian  Church,  which  stands  on  the  very  spot  where 
the  "Old  Brick"  was  built.  Even  to-day  Weaubleau  is  known  throughout  the 
State  and  in  many  other  sections  only  as  the  home  of  Weaubleau  College,  and 
Weaubleau  College,  wherever  known  stands  to-day  as  a  synonym  for  thor- 
oughness and  efficiency.  The  building  of  Weaubleau  College  on  a  bare  prairie, 
near  no  railroad,  near  no  town,  and  accompanied  by  no  other  building  was 
the  product  of  a  soul  inspired  of  God  and  a  courage  that  knew  no  fear,  and  its 


38  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

long  years  of  unbroken  success  under  the  administration  of  its  founder  can  be 
ascribed  to  none  other  than  the  approval  and  constant  support  and  sustenance 
of  Him  that  knows  not  failure.  Few,  if  any,  have  been  more  highly  honored, 
more  uniformly  respected,  and  more  sincerely  loved  by  their  great  mass  of 
students  than  was  (and  is)  Dr.  John  Whitaker,  the  founder,  and  for  more  than 
a  generation,  the  president  of  Weaubleau  Christian  College — or  for  better 
reason. 

Others  have  served  for  short  periods  as  president  of  the  college;  among 
them,  Elder  E.  Barber,  Rev.  Joel  Myers,  Rev.  Fred  Cooper,  and  the  writer  of 
these  lines. 

The  college  is  no  more.  The  "new"  building  has  been  turned  over  to  the 
town  to  be  used  (and  is  being  used)  as  a  high  school  building,  but  the  splendid 
work  done  by  that  institution  will  never  die.

Origin  and  History. 
By  W.  A.  Harper,  President. 

Elon  College  was  charged  March  11,  1889.  It  had  been  in  process  of  birth 
for  many  years  previous  to  that  date  and  came  as  a  fruition  of  the  sincere  de- 
sire of  the  membership  of  the  Southern  Christian  Convention  for  a  college  to 
fit  ministry  and  laity  alike  for  effective  service  in  the  church. 

Purpose. 

The  founders  of  Elon  College  had  in  mind  to  furnish  young  men  and  young 
women,  on  equal  terms,  with  the  most  thorough  instruction  under  positive 
moral  and  religious  influences.  The  record  of  more  than  a  quarter  century  has 
been  ample  justification  of  this  purpose.  The  association  of  young  men  and 
young  women  in  the  classrooms  and  lecture  halls  has  refined  both  and  resulted 
in  a  type  of  scholarship  above  the  average  in  present-day  colleges.  The  lack 
of  boisterousness  and  rowdyism,  the  refinement  and  gentleness  of  manners, 
directly  attributable  to  equal  education,  has  developed,  under  the  strict  moral 
standard  prevailing  here,  a  spirit  that  never  fails  to  impress  all. 


*  This  does  not  mean  that  Elon  has  departed  from  her  decision  not  to  enroll 
over  four  hundred  students  in  a  year.  The  explanation  is  sought  in  the  presence 
of  the  Students'  Army  Training  Corps  here  and  the  influenza  epidemic.  "Four 
hundred"  is  Elon's  goal  and   is  likely   to  continue   to  be. 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  39 

Early  Beginnings. 

Elon  College  is  an  evolution,  the  evolution  of  the  desire  for  a  college  on 
the  part  of  the  Christian  Church  in  the  South.  The  pioneer  in  the  field  of 
religious  education  among  the  people  who  later  founded  Elon  was  Elder 
Daniel  Wilson  Kerr,  who,  according  to  the  North  Carolina  State  Records,  in 
1826  was  teaching  in  Wake  County  and  of  whose  work  the  following  mention 
is  therein  made  (1826):  "The  Wake  Forest  Pleasant  Grove  Academy,  situated 
on  the  Oxford  road  twelve  miles  north  of  Raleigh,  N.  C,  was  incorporated 
with  Elder  Daniel  W.  Kerr  as  principal."  Twelve  years  later  he  was  principal 
of  Junto  Academy,  formerly  called  Mt.  Pleasant,  which  was  incorporated  in 
1838.  In  1842  Junto  Academy  was  burned  and  when  rebuilt  called  Mt.  Zion 
Academy.  Seven  years  later  Mr.  Kerr  moved  his  school  to  Pittsboro,  N.  C, 
where  he  continued  to  teach  until  his  death  in  1850.  With  Elder  Kerr's  death 
his  school  ceases,  but  to  him  is  due  the  honor  of  having  first  conceived  the  idea 
of  a  fitting  school  for  his  church.  It  is  true  that  he  began  the  schools  he 
headed  on  his  own  initiative,  but  they  were  endorsed  by  the  conferences  of  his 
church,  and  were  regarded  by  him  as  denominational  schools,  but  not  as  sec- 
tarian in  any  sense  of  the  word. 

Two  years  after  his  death  the  seed  of  his  sowing  bore  a  finer  fruit  in  the 
establishment  of  Graham  Institute  in  Graham,  the  county  seat  of  Alamance, 
with  Rev.  John  R.  Holt  as  principal.  At  first  this  school  was  conducted  as  a 
high  school  for  boys,  but  in  1857  it  was  chartered  as  Graham  College,  with 
Prof.  W.  H.  Doherty,  Yellow  Springs,  Ohio,  as  president,  under  whose  admin- 
istration it  nourished  until  the  Civil  War,  during  which  it  suffered  such  deple- 
tion that  its  doors  were  closed. 

In  1865  Rev.  W.  S.  Long,  A.  M.,  D.  D.,  opened  a  high  school  in  Graham, 
which  later  came  into  possession  of  the  Graham  College  property,  and  operated 
the  school  as  Graham  Normal  College.  It  was  endorsed  by  the  conferences  of 
the  Christian  Church  and  ceased  to  exist  upon  the  opening  of  Elon  College  in 
September,  1890. 

The  Founding. 

In  1887  the  Committee  on  Schools  and  Colleges  of  the  Southern  Christian 
Convention,  who  were  Dr.  W.  S.  Long,  chairman;  Dr.  J.  Pressley  Barrett,  secre- 
tary; Rev.  J.  W.  Holt,  Dr.  J.  U.  Newman  (by  request),  and  Mr.  J.  W.  Harden, 
leased  the  grounds  and  buildings  of  the  Graham  Normal  College,  intending  to 
make  of  it  a  college  for  the  education  of  ministers,  laymen,  and  lay-women 
under  positive  religious  surroundings,  but,  finding  the  equipment  not  exactly 
commensurate  with  the  needs,  had  a  session  of  the  Southern  Christian  Conven- 
tion called  to  meet  in  Graham  in  September,  1888,  to  give  further  consideration 
to  the  needs  of  the  college  then  being  projected. 

This  called  session  heard  offers  of  land  and  money  from  Burlington,  Gra- 
ham, Mill  Point,  Gibsonville,  and  Greensboro,  for  the  location  of  the  proposed 
college  in  their  several  localities.  After  careful  consideration  it  was  voted  to 
leave  the  decision  of  the  matter  in  the  hands  of  the  following  Provisional  Board: 
Dr.  W.  S.  Long,  Dr.  J.  P.  Barrett,  Hon.  F.  0.  Moring,  Hon.  J.  H.  Harden,  and 
Dr.  G.  S.  Watson.  The  Convention  adjourned  on  September  14,  having  appointed 
Dr.  J.  P.  Barrett  Financial  Agent,  who,  however,  could  not  accept  on  account  of 
his  heavy  work  as  an  editor,  and  in  whose  place  Dr.  W.  S.  Long  was  chosen. 


40  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

The  Provisional  Board  visited  all  the  places  making  offers  for  the  location 
of  the  proposed  college,  and  on  December  20,  1888,  decided  to  locate  it  at  Mill 
Point,  the  present  Elon  College,  the  seventy-five-acre  campus  being  given  by 
Hon.  W.  H.  Trollinger,  Haw  River,  N.  C,  and  twenty-three  other  acres  and 
four  thousand  dollars  in  cash  being  given  by  the  citizens  of  the  rural  commun- 
ity then  surrounding  the  site. 

Dr.  W.  S.  Long  was  chosen  President  as  well  as  Financial  Agent,  and  at 
once  set  to  work  at  his  task.  The  first  cash  donation  to  the  college  was  by  Mr. 
J.  P.  Bland,  Pittsboro,  N.  C,  while  Dr.  Long  himself  had  the  distinction  of 
making  the  first  subscription.  The  first  public  appeal  for  funds  for  the  insti- 
tution was  made  at  Berea,  Nansemond  County,  Va.,  and  resulted  in  the  raising 
of  $635.05,  of  which  Deacon  Willis  J.  Lee,  who  has  been  a  trustee  of  the  college 
since  its  foundation  and  whose  generosity  to  it  has  been  abundant  from  that 
day  to  this,  gave  $250. 

The  General  Assembly  of  North  Carolina  chartered  the  college  March  11, 
1889.  May  7  of  that  year  the  first  shovel  of  dirt  was  removed  for  the  foundation 
and  thirteen  days  later  the  first  brick  was  laid  with  appropriate  ceremonies. 
The  college  opened  its  doors  for  students  September  2,  1890.  Dr.  W.  S.  Long 
remained  President  for  four  years.  He  was  succeeded  upon  his  resignation  by 
Rev.  W.  W.  Staley,  D.  D.,  who  served  as  non-resident  President  for  eleven  years, 
vvith  Dr.  J.  U.  Newman  as  his  Dean  for  nine  years,  and  Dr.  J.  O.  Atkinson 
for  the  other  two.  Upon  Dr.  Staley's  resignation,  Dr.  E.  L.  Moffit  was  chosen 
as  President,  serving  in  this  capacity  until  his  resignation  in  June,  1911.  The 
present  President  was  chosen  as  Dr.  Moffit's  successor  in  June,  1911. 

The  Plant. 
Elon  College  now  has  a  plant  valued  at  more  than  $325,000,  consisting 
of  the  Administration  building,  the  P^ast  Dormitory,  the  West  Dormitory,  the 
Central  Power  Station,  the  Alumni  Building,  the  Ladies'  Hall,  the  Men's  Co- 
operative Hall,  the  Laboratory  Building,  the  West  End  Hall,  a  farm  of  100 
acres,  an  athletic  field,  and  other  lands.  The  plant  needs  now  a  church,  a 
library  building,  a  science  hall,  and  a  departmental  building,  with  beautification 
of  the  grounds. 

The  Endowment. 

The  endowment  now  consists  of  $511,121.57,  $375,000  of  which  consists  of 
the  Standardization  Fund  raised  March  1  to  June  30,  1919,  and  but  $30,000  of 
which  has  now  been  paid  in.  It  is  expected  that  the  church  will  as  readily  pay 
the  remainder  as  the  subscriptions  fall  due  as  it  generously  oversubscribed  the 
quota  assigned  each  local  congregation  in  the  drive. 

Budget  1918-1919 

The  total  cost  of  operating  the  college  during  1918-1919  was' $77,749.33. 
The  Students'  Army  Training  Corps  last  year  brought  a  loss  financially  of 
slightly  more  than  $5,000,  but  perhaps  it  was  only  right  that  all  of  us,  men  and 
institutions  alike,  should  suffer  in  the  cause  of  human  liberation. 

Summer   School   of   Christian   Methods. 

In  the  summer  of  1920,  the  college  purposes  to  begin  a  Summer  School  of 
Christian  Methods,  which  it  is  hoped  will  mean  much  for  the  functioning  of  the 
college  more  completely  in  the  local  churches.

JIREH  COLLEGE 
(Historical  Sketch) 
By  D.  B.  Atkinson 

Jireh  College  owes  its  origin  to  two  former  students  of  Legrand,  now  Pal- 
mer, College.  When  college  days  were  passed  for  these  young  men,  one  went 
westward  and  became  the  pastor  of  a  church  in  Lusk,  Wyoming.  When  he 
wanted  a  minister  to  assist  him  in  a  series  of  meetings,  he  called  his  college 
friend.  They  had  a  delightful  meeting,  and  also  spent  some  time  in  rambling 
over  the  surrounding  country.  One  day  they  climbed  a  hill  about  twelve  miles 
west  of  Lusk,  and  looked  out  over  a  fine,  rolling  prairie.  That  land  gave 
promise  of  a  future  community  of  prosperous  citizens,  and  as  they  gazed,  there 
came  to  them  a  vision  of  a  town,  a  college,  a  church,  and  a  country  community. 
Why  not  make  that  town  the  center  of  a  Christian  community,  and  that  college 
a  ( 'kristian  college? 

These  brethren  were  Rev.  Frank  G.  Coffin  and  Rev.  George  Dalzell.  Their 
vision  was  the  inspiration  of  a  number  of  articles  which  appeared  in  The 
Herald  of  Gospel  Liberty.  Plans  were  made  to  make  the  vision  a  reality.  A 
company  was  organized  to  buy  land  for  the  town  site  and  to  foster  the  enter- 
prise during  its  infancy.  The  company  was  called  the  Jireh  Land  Company. 
It  purchased  one  hundred  sixty  acres  of  land  and  platted  it  for  the  town  of 
Jireh,  reserving  about  twenty  acres  for  the  college  campus.  It  also  secured 
an  option  on  a  quarter  section  of  land  adjoining  the  town  site  on  the  east. 
This  land  was  later  purchased  by  Brother  and  Sister  Levi  J.  Wilkinson  and  by 
them  given  to  the  college. 

A  few  friends  from  Iowa,  Indiana,  Ohio,  New  York,  and  other  States  mani- 
fested their  faith  in  the  enterprise  by  taking  homesteads  in  the  vicinity. 
This  was  in  1908.  By  October  of  that  year,  several  families  had  located  in  this 
section,  and  Mr.  Theron  S.  Grant  had  erected  a  small  building  and  put  in  a  stock 
of  general  merchandise.  The  new  settlers  came  together  and  with  their  own 
hands  built  their  first  church  house,  which  was  used  also  for  the  public  school. 

During  the  winter  of  1908-1909  and  the  summer  following,  the  Executive 
Committee  of  the  Jireh  Land  Company,  composed  of  Rev.  F.  G.  Coffin,  Rev. 
George  Dalzell,  Rev.  Daniel  B.  Atkinson,  and  Alvin  W.  Meade,  held  frequent 
meetings,  planning  for  the  new  college.  Plans  for  the  building  were  made  by 
Mr.  L.  F.  Coffin,  architect,  and  the  corner  stone  of  the  new  building,  now  called 
Wilkinson  Hall,  was  laid  October  21,  1909.  A  public  meeting  was  held  on  this 
occasion  and  an  address  was  delivered  by  Representative  Frank  W.  Mondell,  of 
New  Castle,  Wyoming.    Mr.  Mondell  was  a  member  of  Congress. 

Rev.  George  C.  Enders  was  elected  the  first  president  of  the  college.  Pres- 
ident Enders  completed  arrangements  for  classroom  work  to  begin  January 
1,  1910,  but  inclement  weather  prevented  the  building  from  being  ready  at  that 
time.  However,  a  few  classes  were  organized  and  recitations  conducted  in  the 
church  building.  The  first  term  of  school  to  be  conducted  in  the  new  building 
was  begun  July  18,  1910,  and  continued  six  weeks.  The  instructors  were  Presi- 
dent Enders  and  Prof.  Harry  Haas. 

President  Enders  resigned  at  the  end  of  his  first  year's  service,  and  Rev. 
William  Flammer  was  elected  to  the  office.  President  Flammer  devoted  his 
time  chiefly  to  financial  matters,  and  served  the  institution  for  one  year.  Rev. 
Daniel  B.  Atkinson  was  elected  his  successor. 


42  THE    CHRISTIAN    ANNUAL 

Jireh  College  is  organized  as  a  Junior  College  and  offers  four  years  of 
high  school. work  and  two  years  of  college  work,  and  also  has  a  department  of 
Music  and  of  Art.  The  annual  enrolment  has  increased  from  four  in  1910-1911 
to  sixty.  Special  attention  has  been  given  to  the  high  school  courses  and  such 
normal  studies  as  meet  the  needs  of  the  students.  Plans  are  being  made  for 
the  reorganization  of  all  courses,  the  erection  of  new  buildings,  the  equipment 
of  the  college  for  more  extensive  work,  and  the  more  complete  adaptation  of 
the  college  to  Wyoming  needs. 

All  the  young  men  who  have  graduated  from  the  college,  except  one,  were 
enrolled  in  the  United  States  army  or  in  the  Students'  Army  Training  Corps 
during  the  World  War.  The  service  flag  of  the  college  bears  one  gold  star  for 
Mr.  Earl  Norris,  who  entered  the  service  a  few  days  after  graduation  and 
died  soon  after  reaching  France.  Captain  Lysle  S.  Powell  rendered  distin- 
guished service  in  the  aviation  corps  and  served  under  Food  Commissioner 
Hoover  in  the  distribution  of  food  after  the  signing  of  the  armistice.  In  this 
capacity  he  visited  sixteen  of  the  countries  of  Europe. 

The  present  Board  of  Trustees  is  composed  of  the  following  named  persons : 
Rev.  Frank  G.  Coffin,  D.  D.,  Albany,  Mo.;  George  H.  Grant,  Jireh,  Wyoming; 
Charles  W.  Pfeifer,  Jireh,  Wyoming;  H.  Elmer  Seward,  Jireh,  Wyoming;  Frank 
Stevens,  Keeline,  Wyoming;  Mrs.  Ella  Sheldon  Watson,  M.  A.,  Keeline,  Wyom- 
ing; Rev.  Clarence  Defur,  D.  D.,  Frankfort,  Indiana;  Joshua  M.  Norris,  Jireh, 
Wyoming;  C.  Arthur  Whelan,  Jireh,  Wyoming;  E.  E.  Fullerton,  Jireh,  Wyom- 
ing; Rev.  Christian  G.  Nelson,  M.  A.,  Gresham,  Nebraska;  Rev.  William  Free- 
man, Keeline/Wyoming;  Rev.  Warner  S.  Alexander,  B.  A.,  Van  Tassell,  Wyom- 
ing, and  Rev.  Daniel  B.  Atkinson,  D.  D.,  Jireh,  Wyoming. 

President  and  Mrs.  Atkinson  were  given  a  leave  of  absence  during  the 
year  1917-1918  on  account  of  Mr.  Atkinson's  ill  health.  This,  together  with  war 
conditions,  caused  the  college  to  curtail  its  work  for  the  year.  The  president 
returned  to  the  college  in  August  of  1919,  but  too  late  to  do  any  effective  field 
work  for  students.  The  enrolment,  however,  has  reached  sixty-two.  The  faculty 
for  the  present  year  is  as  follows:  Daniel  B.  Atkinson,  M.  A.,  D.  D.,  President, 
Professor  of  Education;  Ruth  Ford  Atkinson,  B.  A.,  Professor  of  Mathematics 
and  Art;  Mildred  A.  Kinney,  B.  A.,  Dean  of  Women,  Professor  of  English  and 
History;  Florence  M.  Lovelace,  Professor  of  Music. 


A  BRIEF  HISTORY  OF  EDUCATIONAL  WORK  WITHIN  THE  ONTARIO 
CHRISTIAN  CONFERENCE 

By  Rev.  W.  P.  Fletcher,  A.  M. 

In  the  early  years  of  our  history  education  was  not  deemed  of  much  value. 
Our  ministers  came  from  the  plow  or  from  other  humble  walks  of  life.  Some 
of  them,  however,  were  great  Bible  students  and  did  a  great  deal  of  good  in 
those  early  pioneer  days.  Then  some  promising  young  men  went  over  to 
Starkey  and  later  on  a  goodly  number  for  a  small  conference  to  the  Christian 
Biblical  Institute.  But  the  serious  thing  from  our  view-point  was  that  only 
a  very  few  ever  came  back  to  our  Canadian  work,  and  from  this  handicap  we 
have  never  recovered.  In  1888  J.  N.  Dales  graduated  from  Toronto  University 
and  entered  into  his  life  work  with  an  ardent  love  for  his  church  and  an  un-

dying  sense  of  the  need  of  an  educated  ministry.  He  began  looking  around  for 
ministerial  prospects,  and  he  was  splendidly  seconded  by  Mr.  Elmer  Lick,  who 
had  graduated  from  our  Agricultural  College,  and  the  ever  young-old  preacher, 
Elder  T.  Garbutt.  The  present  writer  had  decided  to  enter  the  ministry  and  de- 
siring to  have  a  complete  college  course  was  planning  to  teach  and  thus  earn 
money  to  go  through  his  course.  Bro.  Dales,  feeling  the  need  of  young  men  in 
our  ministry,  as  early  as  possible  urged  the  churches  to  take  up  an  annual  offer- 
ing for  educational  purposes,  and  by  rooming  the  young  prospect  in  his  own 
home  without  charge,  our  first  young  preacher,  a  graduate  of  a  Canadian  col- 
lege, was  ordained  in  1895.  This  was  the  beginning  of  an  educational  work  that 
has  helped  our  Zion  in  a  wider  field  than  just  our  own  conference.  After  a  few 
years  the  Palmer  Fund  came  to  our  aid  and  Bro.  Dales  was  enabled  to  leave 
the  teaching  profession  and  give  himself  entirely  to  the  work  of  the  church. 
For  some  time  he  taught  and  became  the  rallying  center  for  our  students  in 
MacM aster  University  and  now  for  some  years  to  the  pastorate  and  the  work 
of  seeking  out  and  encouraging  young  men  to  enter  the  ministry.  In  1912  a 
building  was  secured  in  Toronto  as  a  students'  home  and  named  Kirton  Hall  in 
memory  of  the  man  whose  gifts  made  the  enterprise  a  possibility  and  this  has 
been  the  center  of  our  educational  work  ever  since.  The  war  dashed  some  of 
our  hopes,  but  we  are  hoping  soon  to  recover  lost  ground.  Our  educational 
standard  for  ordination  is  now  quite  high,  and  our  people  are  willing  at  any 
time  to  raise  it  higher.  No  young  man  in  our  conferences  looking  to  the  min- 
istry would  need  to  be  urged  to  secure  a  college  education,  for  the  work  of 
these  years  has  created  the  atmosphere  for  an  educated  ministry.

The  sixth  session  of  this  School  of  Methods  was  held  at  Virginia 
Beach,  Norfolk,  Va.,  July  29  to  August  5,  1919.  It  was  in  many  re- 
spects the  best  session  yet.  It  was  a  real  school  for  training  leaders 
and  for  giving  instruction  to  Christian  workers.  The  themes  were 
Bible  Study,  Elementary  Sunday-school  Work,  Sunday-school  Organ- 
ization, Christian  Leadership,  Christian  Endeavor,  Church  Problems, 
Missions,  Sermons,  The  Forward  Movement,  Chautauqua  Lectures,  etc. 

The  Commission  Christian  Unity  of  the  Christian  Church  and 
the  Society  for  the  Promotion  of  Christian  Unity  of  The  Disciples  of 
Christ  held  a  joint  session  during  the  Chautauqua. 

The  work  of  the  Seaside  Chautauqua  and  School  of  Methods  has 
been  so  valuable  to  our  church  life  and  workers  that  the  management 
adopted  a  resolution  requesting  The  American  Christian  Convention 
functioning,  through  its  various  boards,  to  establish,  foster,  and  aid  in 
the  support  of  Summer  Chautauquas  and  Schools  of  Methods  in  all 
sections  of  our  denomination.

REPORTS  TO  THE  JOINT  BOARD 

The  following-named  Boards  of  The  American  Christian  Convention,  and 
the  Trustees  of  The  Christian  Publishing  Association,  met  in  joint  session,  in 
Dayton,  Ohio,  October  21  to  24,  1919 — Executive,  Home  Mission,  Foreign  Mis- 
sion, Educational,  Sunday-school,  and  Christian  Endeavor. 

The  president  of  The  American  Christian  Convention  was  made  permanent 
chairman,  the  president  of  The  Christian  Publishing  Association  permanent 
vice-chairman,  and  the  Convention  Secretary  permanent  secretary  of  the  joint 
sessions. 

It  was  voted : 

That  the  reports  of  the  various  Boards,  approved  by  the  joint  session,  be 
published  in  The  Christian  Annual,  for  1920. 


Publishing 

The  plan  of  work  for  The  Christian  Publishing  Association  is  along  the  same 
lines  as  we  have  been  following  in  recent  years. 

Some  of  the  results  of  working  our  plan  during  the  past  year  are  that 
when  books  were  closed  September  30,  1919,  they  showed  resources  of  the  house 
amounting  to  $162,109.42  and  liabilities  to  amount  of  $26,692.31,  making  net 
worth  of  the  house  business  $135,417.11,  and  in  hands  of  Treasurer  additional 
resources  of  $2,595.96,  or  a  total  net  worth  of  $138,004.07. 

At  our  last  Annual  Meeting  it  was  found  necessary  to  increase  the  price 
of  all  our  publications,  because  of  the  heavy  advances  in  all  materials  and 
labor.  This  resulted  in  a  decreased  circulation  for  every  one  of  the  publications, 
but  brought  more  returns  for  those  sent  out  than  the  previous  year.  In  a 
strictly  commercial  business  the  prices  of  the  product  should  be  further  in- 
creased, but  it  is  not  deemed  expedient  to  do  so  at  this  time,  and  they  will  be 
furnished  during  the  next  year  at  same  prices  as  prevailed  during  the  year 
just  closed. 

It  was  impossible  to  estimate,  or  in  any  way  anticipate  or  appropriate  the 
various  items  or  amounts  of  increases  that  would  have  to  be  met  and  borne 
during  the  year — and  they  have  continued  during  the  year — so  that  the  net 
gain  of  the  business  was  only  $511.92,  which  is  too  near  the  dividing  line  to  say 
that  we  have  done  more  than  been  able  to  keep  the  business  going. 

The  matter  of  circulation  of  the  church  paper,  The  Herald  of  Gospel  Liberty, 
is  probably  of  special  interest.  That  account  shows  the  least  loss  it  has  for 
some  years,  this  time  being  $1,219.45,  not  including  any  part  of  the  office  sal- 
aries account.  A  special  effort  was  made  to  secure  new  subscribers  during  the 
hot  summer  months,  and  resulted  in  a  net  increase  of  practically  25 9£,  but 
the  mailing  list  for  the  paper  is  yet  over  400  less  than  it  was  one  year  ago,  now 
being  in  round  numbers,  3,800.  The  taking  and  reading  of  The  Herald  by 
every  household  of  our  membership  is  a  more  vital  and  valuable  matter  to  the 
reader  himself,  to  the  different  departments  of  our  work  and  to  the  church 
as  a  whole,  than  to  the  publisher,  perhaps,  so  that  assistance  in  increasing  this 
list  should  be  a  matter  of  concern  and  attention  by  every  minister  and  worker 


46  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

of  our  brotherhood.  The  average  cost  for  the  papers  mailed  for  the  year  has 
been  more  than  $2.50  each,  but  increases  over  present  list  will  not  bear 
same  proportion  of  cost,  for  the  editing,  type-setting,  proof-reading,  make-up, 
make-ready,  and  some  other  items  would  remain  the  same  for  whatever  number 
we  might  print. 

The  books  of  the  Association  were  audited  by  a  public  accountant,  as  they 
have  been  each  year  for  the  past  eight  years,  and  reports  as  made  by  Manager 
found  correct. 

The  total  amount  of  business  done  by  the  Publication  Department  for  the 
year,  which  includes  the  church  paper,  Sunday-school  publications,  and  supplies, 
books,  etc.,  was  $54,169.69,  and  by  the  Commercial  Job  Printing  Department, 
$20,154.19;  a  total  of  $74,323.88.  Last  year's  total  was  $63,711.14.  Increase  in 
volume  of  business  this  year  over  last  $10,612.74,  of  which  $5,847.36  is  in  Pub- 
lication Department,  and  $4,765.38  in  Job  Printing  Department. 

A  feature  of  this  increase,  and  of  the  whole  business  of  Publication  Depart- 
ment, that  has  caused  considerable  extra  labor,  and  therefore  expense,  is  the 
practice  of  a  great  many  Sunday-schools,  and  individuals  too,  perhaps,  of  hav- 
ing their  supplies  and  books  billed  to  them,  when  a  little  planning  and  attention 
would  enable  them  to  conform  to  the  long-established  rule  of  the  house  that 
cash  should  accompany  order. 

The  Association  desires  the  hearty  co-operation  of  all  the  brotherhood. 


Sunday-school 

While  it  is  true  that  every  department  of  the  church  is  inclined  to  feel 
that  it  is  the  most  important,  we  know  that  it  is  true  of  the  Sunday-schools. 
No  other  organization  the  world  over,  in  the  church  or  out,  has  a  place  for  every 
individual  of  every  race  or  color  from  the  day  of  his  birth  to  the  day  of  his 
death.  We  welcome  the  newborn  baby  into  the  Cradle  Roll,  and  he  may  draw 
his  last  breath  as  a  member  of  the  Home  Department,  having  spent  every  inter- 
vening year  in  a  department  suited  to  his  needs,  and  studying  a  lesson  prepared 
especially  for  him. 

Our  field  is  the  world,  and  every  individual  in  it.  Our  opportunity  is  as 
wide  as  God's  mercy,  and  the  need  is  as  great  as  His  world.  How  shall  we 
avail  ourselves  of  our  opportunity,  and  meet  this  need?  It  cannot  be  done 
wholly  by  raising  money,  or  by  educating  ministers,  or  by  building  churches, 
or  endowing  colleges.  These  are  all  good  and  all  necessary,  but  the  man  or 
woman  without  previous  training  will  not  give  money,  the  minister  cannot 
preach  to  empty  pews,  and  the  college  will  find  its  greatest  recruiting  ground 
in  the  Sunday-school  room  of  the  Christian  Church.  While  you  are  conserving 
the  church  of  the  present,  and  caring  for  the  people  of  to-day,  we  are  building 
the  church  of  the  future,  and  preparing  for  generations  yet  unborn.  We  have 
therefore  set  as  our  objective  the  reaching  and  touching  of  every  child  within 
the  bounds  of  our  work,  the  rearing  of  the  child  so  that  his  life  wherever 
spent  may  be  a  consecrated  life,  and  a  constant  enlarging  of  those  bounds 
that  more  lives  may  be  reached  and  touched. 

In  order  to  accomplish  this,  your  new  Board,  on  taking  over  the  work, 
felt  it  to  be  most  necessary  that  an  accurate  survey  of  our  field  of  work  be 


THE     CHRISTIAN    ANNUAL  47 

made,  and  full  statistics  be  gathered.  The  only  statistics  we  have  had  for  many 
years  have  been  "About  one  thousand  schools,  and  about  100,000  members." 
After  from  three  to  five  requests  for  information,  directed  to  the  Sunday-school 
secretaries  of  our  seventy  conferences,  and  to  the  officers  of  the  local  schools, 
where  such  officers  were  known,  we  have  received  reports  from  508  schools, 
showing  a  total  enrolment  of  52,795.  Even  this  is  not  correct,  as  some  schools 
have  not  reported  enrolment  and  others  have  given  numbers  which  are  obvi- 
ously estimates.  From  the  following  fifteen  conferences  we  have  not  a  single 
school  reporting:  Eastern  Atlantic  (Colored),  Kentucky  (District  No.  1),  Ken- 
tucky (District  No.  2),  Kentucky  Christian,  Michigan,  Nebraska,  North  Carolina 
(Afro),  Northern  Kansas,  Northern  Michigan,  Northwestern  Ohio,  Ohio  Valley, 
Osage  (Eastern  Division),  People's  (Colored),  Salt  Creek,  Southwestern  West 
Virginia,  Western  Pennsylvania,  West  Virginia. 

From  several  others,  only  two,  three,  or  four  schools  have  reported,  so 
that  our  survey  and  our  knowledge  is  as  yet  incomplete.  It  was  no  part  of 
the  original  plan  of  this  Board  to  go  to  the  local  school,  but  we  have  found  it 
impossible  to  get  statistics  from  the  Secretaries.  Some  have  never  been  noti- 
fied of  their  appointment  to  that  position;  others  do  not  answer  for  reasons 
unknown.  The  information  in  the  Annual  very  seldom  extends  as  far  as  Sun- 
day-school statistics. 

We  have  voted  to  make  our  financial  goal  for  this  year  the  raising  of  the 
sum  of  $10,000.00.  Of  this  sum,  $5,000.00  will  be  our  apportionment  for  Mis- 
sions, $3,000.00  for  the  Armenian  and  Syrian  Relief  work,  and  the  remainder  for 
our  budget  as  approved  by  the  Board  of  Church  Polity. 

The  Armenian  and  Syrian  situation  is  desperate,  the  need  immense  and 
immediate.  Last  year  in  the  drive  made  for  relief  funds,  our  church  gave,  or 
at  least  received  credit  for,  only  $1,572.  This  year  we  are  anxious  that  our 
Sunday-schools  shall  make  an  offering  of  at  least  $3,000.00  and  to  this  end 
have  set  the  date  for  the  drive  on  Sunday,  February  22,  1920.  Full  information 
and  material  for  this  drive  can  be  secured  from  the  Near  East  Relief  Committee, 
No.  1  Madison  Avenue,  New  York  City.  They  have  prepared  a  short  play  which 
will  be  found  very  helpful  in  depicting  the  need  for  the  work  and  in  raising 
the  money.  They  also  have  programs  for  those  who  desire  something  simpler, 
and  leaflets,  report  blanks,  etc.,  etc.,  to  assist  in  raising  this  money. 

The  World's  Sunday-school  Convention,  which  was  to  have  been  held  at 
Tokyo,  Japan,  in  1916,  and  was  deferred  on  account  of  the  war,  will  now  be 
held  in  October,  1920.  We  feel  that  our  Board  should  have  a  representative 
at  this  Convention  in  order  that  the  Sunday-schools  of  the  Christian  Church 
may  be  officially  represented  in  this  great  Convention.  The  cost  of  this  trip, 
including  an  eight  to  eighteen-day  survey  of  the  missioin  fields,  would  be  from 
$800.00  to  $1,000.00.  If  this  cannot  be  arranged  for,  this  Board  will  co-oper- 
ate with  some  other  board  or  boards  in  sending  such  a  representative. 

In  planning  all  of  our  work,  we  have  kept  in  mind  the  Forward  Movement 
of  the  church  as  it  relates  to  the  Sunday-school.  We  have  adopted  it  as  the 
basis  for  all  our  plans,  scopes,  activities,  and  objectives,  with  its  monthly 
emphasis  on  particular  phases,  and  we  are  looking  forward  to  the  time  when 
every  school  will  be  a  "Standard  School,"  with  a  "Forward"  movement;  with 
an  outlook,  as  well  as  an  inlook,  and  with  a  vision  of  service  that  shall  send 
volunteers  out  as  recruits  for  life  service,  as  well  as  money  to  meet  their 
expenses,  while  behind  them  will  stand  solidly  a  praying,  working,   giving

band  of  Christians  who  have  so  studied  as  to  be  approved  of  God  and  who 
have  become  workmen  that  need  not  to  be  ashamed. 

We  most  heartily  approve  of  the  work  being  done  at  the  Virginia  Beach 
Chautauqua  and  School  of  Methods,  and  we  recommend  that  its  plans  be  repro- 
duced as  far  as  possible  at  Winona  Lake,  and  Craigville,  and  that  other  such 
schools  of  method  be  started  in  strategic  parts  of  the  field  when  opportunity 
offers,  or  the  field  opens  up  for  this  work.  In  addition  to  this,  we  recommend 
the  holding  of  institutes  or  group  conferences  in  the  local  conferences  or  in 
central  places  where  a  group  of  five  or  six  schools  can  be  easily  reached.  By 
this  means,  our  workers  will  become  acquainted  not  only  with  each  other,  but 
with  the  best  thought  and  work  of  one  another;  their  problems  will  be  more 
easily  solved,  and  their  work  become  a  real  joy  in  service.  For  any  such 
group  conferences,  this  Board  offers  its  assistance  in  preparing  the  program, 
suggesting  topics,  etc. 

We  request  every  conference  to  give  ample  time  on  its  program  for  the 
presentation  of  the  Sunday-school  work.  A  suggestive  program  for  such  work 
will  be  provided  for  the  use  of  the  program  committees.  Such  programs  of 
Sunday-school  work  shall  include  a  statement  of  the  work  and  aims  of  this 
Sunday-school  Board.  We  note  with  approval  the  plans  under  way  by  some 
of  our  colleges  to  conduct  a  summer  training  school  for  religious  workers.  We 
most  earnestly  beg  that  such  schools  shall  remember  the  needs  of  the  teachers 
in  our  Sunday-schools,  and  the  pupils  whom  they  teach. 

We  recommend  that,  instead  of  the  "Responsive  Reading"  as  given  in  our 
quarterlies,  at  least  two  "Programs"  for  the  Sunday-school  hour  be  presented, 
with  suggestions  as  to  responsive  readings,  hymns,  opening  and  closing  exer- 
cises and  so  forth.  We  would  suggest  that  these  programs  be  so  arranged  as 
to  stress  the  monthly  program  of  the  Forward  Movement.  In  addition,  would 
request  that  one  or  more  pages  each  month  be  devoted  to  the  Organized  Class 
work. 

We  feel  that  we  cannot  stress  too  highly  the  need  of  Teacher-Training,  and 
we  urge  most  strongly  that  this  work  be  taken  up  in  every  church.  The  course 
endorsed  by  this  Board  is  the  Pilgrim  Training  Course  for  Teachers. 

Feeling  convinced  that  no  one  person  can,  with  justice  to  himself  or  others, 
edit  Sunday-school  material  for  all  departments,  we  look  forward  to  the  time 
when  the  literature  of  each  division  of  the  Sunday-school  may  be  edited  by  those 
who  have  made  that  phase  of  the  work  their  special  study.  We  especially  urge 
that  as  rapidly  as  possible,  our  schools  be  led  to  see  the  necessity  for  intro- 
ducing the  graded  work  for  the  various  departments. 

Through  this  Board,  our  Sunday-schools  are  represented  on  the  Interna- 
tional Lesson  Committee  and  the  Sunday-school  Council  of  the  Evangelical 
Churches  of  Christ.  We  believe  that  this  representation  has  been  of  great 
value  to  our  church  and  especially  the  Sunday-school  Department. 

We  feel,  Mr.  Chairman,  that  while  we  cannot  exist  without  the  other  de- 
partments of  the  church,  yet,  also,  no  department  can  exist  without  us.  There 
will  be  no  missionaries,  unless  the  Sunday-school  has  taught  them  to  see  that 
the  field  is  the  world,  and  that  they  must  obey  the  command  to  "Go."  There 
will  be  no  such  offerings  as  we  ought  to  have,  unless  the  youth  has  been  taught 
in  his  impressionable  years  to  bring  an  offering  unto  the  Lord.  There  will  be 
no  pupils  to  attend  and  keep  alive  the  traditions  of  our  colleges  unless  they 
are  turned  toward  them  while  studying  in  the  Sunday-school,  and  finally,  we 


r,:iT1     CHRISTIAN     A  NIT  UAL  49 

believe  that  there  will  be  fewer  and  fewer  ministers  of  the  gospel,  unless  all 
possible  efforts  are  made  to  aid  and  build  up  the  Sunday-schools,  by  all  possible 
Christian  methods  so  that  the  Lord  shall  walk  in  them,  saying  to  the  boys  and 
girls  who  congregate  there,  "Follow  me."  The  child  in  the  midst,  is  the  Mas- 
ter's order  and  it  is  divine. 


Home   Missions 

The  war  with  its  great  drives  and  its  spirit  of  sacrifice  has  been  blessed, 
or  perhaps  I  should  say  used,  of  God  in  such  a  manner  as  to  have  been  a  great 
impetus  to  the  work  of  missions. 

It  has  enlarged  the  spirit  of  world  brotherhood,  and  increased  the  willing- 
ness of  men  to  allow  the  spirit  of  sacrifice  to  extend  to  the  work  of  missions  as 
well  as  for  the  sake  of  the  suffering  peoples  of  the  war  ridden  countries.  We 
are  truly  grateful  to  God  that  He  has  directed  in  such  a  way  that  the  church 
has  really  been  made  more  efficient  because  of  its  part  in  the  war. 

Partially  as  a  result  of  the  new  developments  coming  out  of  the  war,  the 
Interchurch  World  Movement  was  brought  into  existence.  It  is  one  of  the  most 
encouraging  signs  for  the  betterment  of  the  home  mission  cause,  and  has  great 
promise  in  it  for  the  fulfillment  of  the  union  of  the  church  for  which  we  as 
a  people  exist. 

The  surveys  of  that  Movement  are  being  pushed  as  fast  as  possible  and 
already  some  of  the  countries  in  different  States  have  completed  the  rural 
survey  and  are  now  having  meetings  to  plan  programs  of  work  based  on  the 
findings  of  those  surveys.  One  such  meeting  was  held  at  Kenton,  Ohio,  on 
Friday  (October  17)  at  which  we  were  represented  by  the  pastor  of  two  of 
our  churches  in  that  county. 

It  is  not  a  question  as  to  whether  churches  are  to  be  abandoned  or  not,  so 
much  as  to  whether  they  will  unite  for  larger  service. 

The  scarcity  of  pastors  in  all  the  denominations  seems  to  indicate  that 
the  churches  are  going  to  be  driven  to  that  whether  they  want  to  or  not.  The 
survey  will  show  where  this  is  possible  by  doing  away  with  so  much  overlapping 
and  thus  strengthening  the  -work  of  the  Kingdom. 

The  Movement  does  not  in  any  way  plan  that  there  shall  be  a  loss  to  the 
smaller  denominations,  but  that  they  may  have  the  advantage  of  the  possibility 
of  scientific  co-operation.  Wherever  there  seems  to  be  a  need  of  union  of 
churches  or  for  trading  churches,  the  officials  of  the  denomination  are  to  be 
called  in  to  consult  in  the  matter. 

While  we  are  congregational  in  our  government  and  unable  to  dictate  to 
our  churches  what  action  they  shall  take,  we  should  give  every  encouragement 
to  this  plan  of  better  co-operation  in  the  work  of  the  Kingdom. 

We  are  just  beginning  to  learn  that  we  are  living  in  a  new  age  and  that 
most  of  us  have  not  been  prepared  for  it.  The  thing  which  seems  to  have 
affected  us  most  vitally  is  that  the  churches  are  raising  their  standards  of 
demands  on  the  ministry  and  leadership,  without  raising  the  support  for  that 
leadership  at  the  same  time.  The  consequence  is  that  we  are  suffering,  as  never 
before,  a  dearth  of  pastors  for  our  churches.  This  to  my  mind  is  one  of  the 
greatest  problems  that  we  as  a  home  mission  board  are  facing.     Numbers  of 


50  THE     CHRISTIAN    ANNUAL 

churches  think  they  are  doing  their  work  adequately,  or  offering  to  do  so, 
when,  because  of  changed  conditions,  they  will  need  to  have  encouragement 
even  with  financial  aid.  An  appalling  number  of  our  churches  are  now  with- 
out pastors  and  seemingly  no  men  to  go  to  them  without  us  conducting  some- 
thing like  the  old  game  of  "Pussy  Wants  a  Corner,"  and  always  having  a 
number  of  vacancies  and  an  unstable  work  in  the  others. 

This  has  been  the  greatest  burden  on  the  heart  of  the  secretary  as  the 
trouble  finder  of  the  denomination,  and  on  the  hearts  of  all  those  who  have 
visited  conferences. 

With  the  realization  of  this  fact,  at  the  beginning  of  the  last  current  year, 
when  more  than  three  hundred  of  our  churches  were  without  pastors,  I  wrote 
to  all  the  conference  secretaries  and  asked  them  to  bring  this  situation  to  the 
attention  of  their  executive  boards.  I  recommended  as  a  solution  that  each 
conference  endeavor  to  have  lay  leaders  appointed,  especially  in  each  church 
which  was  without  a  pastor,  and  that  these  lay  leaders  be  made  responsible  for 
services  of  worship  in  the  church  aside  from  the  Sunday-school. 

Very  little  response  came  from  this  letter  and  yet  it  was  not  without  some 
fruits.  The  secretary  of  the  New  Jersey  Conference,  who  is  a  layman,  was  so 
taken  with  the  thought  that  he  immediately  took  up  the  work  and  made  some 
visits  to  pastorless  churches  in  that  conference.  The  result  was  that  he  not  only 
became  interested  himself  in  those  churches  but  was  able  to  so  interest  his 
conference  that  they  raised  a  thousand  dollar  fund  at  the  conference  session 
to  aid  in  the  carrying  out  of  a  program  to  aid  these  churches.  I  report  this  not 
to  try  to  get  the  credit  for  this  department,  but  to  show  the  possibility  when 
laymen  are  properly  interested  in  the  work  of  the  church. 

Our  visitation  at  the  Eastern  Ohio  Conference  made  it  possible  for  the 
Home  Mission  Department  to  get  into  a  vital  relationship  with  the  work  of  that 
conference.  They  had  been  talking  of  the  thought  of  having  a  field  man  look 
after  the  pastorless  churches  there. 

I  offered,  on  my  own  initiative  without  consulting  my  Board,  to  give  finan- 
cial aid  to  that  work  if  they  would  ask  Rev.  W.  E.  Ewing  to  take  up  the  work. 
This  they  readily  agreed  to  do  and  elected  Brother  Ewing  who  is  now  conduct- 
ing the  dry  campaign  in  his  county,  but  who  will  take  up  the  work  almost  imme- 
diately. The  plan  is  to  try  to  get  pastors  in  all  the  churches  if  possible,  and 
in  other  ways  to  give  suggestions  in  the  way  of  lay  leadership,  church  pro- 
grams, etc.    The  Home  Mission  Secretary  will  give  all  the  assistance  possible. 

At  the  Erie  Conference  a  committee  of  three  of  the  leading  pastors  was 
appointed  to  do  something  of  the  same  work  that  is  outlined  above  in  giving 
assistance  to  the  pastorless  churches  of  that  conference. 

There  is  a  plan  in  the  Southern  Ohio  Conference  to  secure  a  field  secretary 
for  that  conference,  and  I  have  asked  that  this  Board  be  given  an  opportunity 
to  aid  in  the  support  of  that  worker  in  order  that  we  may  aid  both  financially 
and  in  every  other  way  possible  in  securing  more  adequate  leadership  in  the 
pastorless  churches  of  that  conference. 

We  were  unable  to  get  a  man  for  the  work  of  field  missionary  as  planned 
last  year,  consequently  nothing  was  accomplished  in  that  way.  In  fact,  I  have 
come  to  the  conclusion  that  it  is  impracticable  to  get  a  man  for  the  whole  field, 
and  that  it  will  be  much  better  for  the  Board  to  aid  conference  field  workers. 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  51 

Conference  Visitation. 

Besides  the  Interdenominational  Conferences,  such  as  the  Home  Missions 
Council  and  Interchurch  World  Movement  Educational  Conference,  also  the 
Setting  up  Conference  of  the  Home  Mission  Survey  of  the  Interchurch  World 
Movement,  I  have  attended  ten  of  our  own  conferences,  speaking  both  on  the 
home  mission  problems  and  the  Forward  Movement.  Among  these  were  a 
number  of  our  weaker  conferences.  My  study  of  these  latter  has  led  me  to 
believe  more  than  ever  that  the  source  of  the  weakness  is  in  the  lack  of  prepared 
leadership. 

The  majority  of  the  ministers  in  them  are  giving  much  of  their  time  to 
other  lines  of  work  in  order  to  keep  up  their  exchequer. 

I  have  found  also  that  the  standards  of  the  laymen  of  these  same  confer- 
ences are  much  above  the  average  of  their  organizations  because  their  church 
life  has  not  kept  in  line  with  their  individual  developments.  This  all  leads  me 
to  believe  that  the  home  mission  work  of  our  church  might  profitably  co-operate 
with  the  Educational  Board  for  better  equipping  our  present  pastors  for  the 
kind  of  service  that  is  needed  of  them.  My  thought  is  that  we  give  aid  to  the 
organization  of  summer  schools  such  as  was  suggested  by  Defiance  College  last 
year,  and  that  we  even  offer,  when  men  are  not  financially  able  to  attend  such 
schools,  to  give  them  some  financial  aid.  Many  an  untrained  man  is  in  the 
ministry  because  of  natural  abilities,  which  if  properly  cultivated  would  make 
him  most  valuable. 

Other  denominations  are  recognizing  this  fact  and  are  making  it  possible 
for  these  men  to  train  themselves  for  larger  service,  and  are  doing  it  as  home 
mission  work. 

Finance. 

Home  Missions  is  never  able  to  report  all  that  is  done  for  that  cause  in  the 
whole  denomination  along  the  line  of  finance,  as  many  of  the  conferences  and 
conventions  do  so  much  home  mission  work  in  which  the  money  does  not  pass 
through  the  hands  of  this  treasury.  Many  of  the  conferences  have  done  more 
in  that  way  this  year  than  ever  before,  and  some  excellent  work,  too.  One  of 
the  conferences  raised  its  conference  apportionment  from  twelve  and  one-half 
cents  per  member  to  fifty  cents.  Dr.  Atkinson  writes  me  that  at  the  time  of 
the  meeting  of  their  Board  they  had  $25,000.00  in  the  treasury  of  the  Mission 
Board  of  the  Southern  Christian  Convention.  Thus  there  is  much  Home  Mis- 
sion work  being  done  in  the  denomination  which  we  are  not  able  to  report. 

Our  receipts  from  general  sources  this  year  were  $16,815.09,  which  is 
$2,736.54  more  than  they  were  last  year.  The  total  net  receipts  for  home 
missions  from  all  sources  was  $21,201.38,  or  an  increase  of  $3,746.17  over  the 
net  receipts  of  last  year.  While  this  is  small  in  comparison  to  the  ability  of 
the  church  to  give,  we  are  not  discouraged  with  the  development  of  our  mission 
work  along  financial  lines.  Figures  do  not  tell  the  whole  story  by  any  means. 
Men  are  teaching  the  opportunities  of  stewardship  and  planting  the  seed  for 
the  future  in  a  way  that  is  sure  to  bring  a  fine  harvest.  Tithing  is  being  taught 
and  practiced  more  than  ever  was  dreamed  could  be  in  our  church. 

On  account  of  not  having  paid  many  of  the  salaries  of  home  missionaries 
before  the  close  of  last  quarter,  we  report  a  larger  home  mission  credit  than  we 
would  have  had  we  paid  all  the  debts  for  last  year's  work.

52  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

I  trust  that  the  Board  will  plan  for  much  larger  things  this  year  and  that 
we  may  accomplish  our  aims. 

Franklinton  College. 

The  Home  Mission  Department  is  now  more  vitally  connected  with  Frank- 
linton College  than  it  ever  has  been.  At  the  Convention  at  Conneaut  the  Home 
Mission  Secretary  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Control  of  Frank- 
linton, and  then  that  Board  elected  him  President  and  Treasurer. 

Subsequently,  at  a  meeting  of  the  Executive  Board  of  The  American 
Christian  Convention,  I  reported  the  danger  of  being  unable  to  distinguish  as 
to  funds  coming  to  the  Home  Mission  Board  for  Franklinton  and  those  which 
were  to  be  credited  direct  to  the  treasury  of  Franklinton.  To  obviate  this  diffi- 
culty the  Board  ordered  that  the  Home  Mission  treasury  handle  the  Franklinton 
funds  as  a  home  mission  fund  and  so  credit  it.  Therefore,  Home  Missions  is 
now  back  of  the  work  at  Franklinton  in  a  very  definite  way. 

Having  come  into  power  so  late  in  the  year,  the  new  Board  of  Control  had 
very  little  opportunity  to  make  any  changes  in  the  policy  of  the  school  for  the 
coming  year. 

Western  Work. 

Several  months  ago  Rev.  W.  S.  Alexander  resigned  the  work  in  Wyoming. 
However,  I  urged  him  to  remain  in  the  work  until  the  close  of  the  year.  He 
is  now  holding  preaching  services  at  three  points  in  the  eastern  end  of  the  field. 
At  one  of  the  points  he  felt  that  the  people  were  becoming  indifferent  and  so 
decided  that  it  would  be  well  to  give  his  whole  attention  to  the  other  places. 
The  folks  near  the  schoolhouse  where  the  services  were  held,  however,  begged 
that  he  remain  in  the  work  and  he  promised  to  do  so;  they  pay  him  fifteen  dol- 
lars a  month  to  keep  on  in  the  services. 

By  vote  by  mail  the  Board  decided  to  accept  the  suggestion  of  the  Board  of 
Polity  and  assist  in  the  salary  of  Dr.  Atkinson,  provided  that  he  aid  in  the 
mission  work  oversight  in  connection  with  his  school  work. 

We  are  at  a  place  where  we  must  have  more  money  with  which  to  build 
and  compete  strongly  enough  for  our  church  to  be  respected  or  to  co-operate 
enough  not  to  encumber  the  ground. 

In  the  work  in  Washington  State  the  men  who  are  on  the  field  have  done 
nobly  in  that  they  are  bringing  our  church  to  the  place  where  we  are  being 
recognized  and  respected  for  that  which  has  been  done.  However,  it  has  grown 
to  the  extent  that  there  must  be  more  men  on  that  field  as  soon  as  it  is  possible 
to  find  them.  Interdenominational  forces  are  now  starting  a  federated  work 
among  the  logging  men  of  that  region  with  which  we  will  perhaps  have  to 
unite  before  many  years.  Three  denominations  are  now  working  together  but, 
as  yet,  have  not  come  into  the  immediate  territory  where  our  work  has  been 
done.  The  Woman's  Board  has  had  the  support  of  this  work  as  a  special.  They 
have  furnished  part  of  the  money  to  buy  an  automobile  for  Mr.  Caldwell. 
There  is  some  money  yet  due  for  that  purpose,  although  the  machine  has  been 
ordered. 

There  are  a  few  points  where  aid  will  be  discontinued  and  some  which  have 
made  quite  a  reduction  in  the  amount  that  was  asked  from  the  Board.  I  believe 
that  the  time  has  come  when  our  Board  is  ready  to  start  new  work  in  some 
field  and  to  endeavor  to  make  it  adequate. 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  53 

There  are  some  churches  which  must  be  aided  which  are  not  thinking  of 
asking  aid  from  the  Board  because  of  their  feeling  that  they  have  enough  to 
do  what  is  needed  to  be  done,  but  which  are  not  doing  an  adequate  work  for 
the  opportunity  which  they  have. 

I  shall  bring  these  to  the  attention  of  the  Home  Mission  Board  more  spe- 
cifically. 

Home  Base. 

We  are  hoping  that  the  Forward  Movement  may  have  a  great  influence  in 
establishing  the  work  of  the  home  base  for  all  of  our  mission  work  so  that  the 
churches  may  come  to  realize  the  place  they  really  hold  in  the  maintenance  of 
the  work.  The  way  in  which  the  churches  are  responding  to  that  appeal  is 
very  encouraging.  We  ought  to  build  one  new  church  this  year  and  start  an- 
other or  two  next  year,  churches  which  will  be  strong  enough  to  appeal  to  the 
membership  as  a  challenge  for  their  best  support. 

I  wish  to  acknowledge  the  fine  support  that  the  Woman's  Board  for  Home 
Missions  has  given  to  the  work  of  the  Home  Mission  Department.  They  have 
aided  in  the  circulation  of  The  Christian  Missionary,  in  planting  the  leaven  of 
mission  study  classes  in  the  churches,  in  raising  a  large  share  of  the  money 
that  we  have  used  in  the  work,  and  in  promoting  the  general  cause  of  missions. 


Foreign   Missions 

The  Foreign  Mission  Department  of  the  Mission  Board  of  the  Christian 
Church  met  at  Dayton,  Ohio,  Tuesday  evening,  October  21  and  adjourned 
Thursday  evening,  October  23,  1919.  All  members  were  present  with  the  ex-

Foreign  Mission  Secretai-y  Minton  was  named  to  succeed  Dr.  M.  T.  Morrill 
on  all  co-operative  committees  and  Acting  Secretary  McCord  was  asked  to 
place  the  name  of  the  Secretary  in  nomination  to  fill  such  vacancies  as  were 
created  by  the  retirement  of  Dr.  Morrill. 

The  Committee  on  Co-operation  in  Latin  America  was  voted  the  usual  ap- 
portionment of  $200. 

It  was  decided  to  create  a  fund  for  the  building  of  homes  for  our  foreign 
missionaries  and  the  Secretary  was  authorized  to  encourage  gifts  for  this 
purpose. 

A  special  committee  consisting  of  Acting  Secretary  McCord,  Secretary  Min- 
ton, and  Mrs.  M.  T.  Morrill  was  asked  to  make  a  thorough  study  of  the  Inter- 


54  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

church  World  Movement  program  for  Japan  and  if  necessary,  to  call  the  Board 
together  to  hear  and  act  upon  their  recommendations. 

The  Secretary  was  requested  to  send  suitable  greetings  to  the  Japan  and 
Porto  Rico  Missions.

The  request  of  the  Japan  Mission  for  an  additional  fund  for  the  Kannari 
Chapel  was  referred  to  the  Woman's  Board. 

The  action  of  the  Japan  Mission  relative  to  the  Narugo  District  was  ap- 
proved and  the  matter  referred  to  the  Woman's  Board. 

A  year-in-grant  of  $250  was  allowed  the  Garmans  for  the  year  1919. 

A  grant  of  $25  was  allowed  toward  the  purchase  of  an  organ  for  Utsu- 
nomiya,  the  balance  to  be  raised  by  that  church. 

The  requested  grant  for  the  building  of  the  Naka  Shibuya  Church  was 
ordered  delayed  owing  to  lack  of  proper  funds. 

A  grant  of  $50  was  allowed  Miss  Martha  Stacy  for  language  study. 

It  was  voted  that  the  money  received  for  the  temporary  rental  of  the  mis- 
sion home  during  a  short  period  in  the  summer  be  retained  by  Bro.  Garman. 

Foreign  Mission  Secretary  Minton  was  asked  to  visit  the  Japan  Field  as 
soon  as  possible,  preferably  during  the  year  1920. 

The  Board  urges  that  representative  ministers  and  laymen  of  our  denomina- 
tion attend  the  World  Sunday-school  Convention  in  Japan,  1920,  and  that  they 
shape  their  plans  to  visit  our  Foreign  Mission  work  while  there. 

The  matter  of  the  unpaid  balance  for  the  Dogenzaki  lot  was  referred  to  the 
Investment  Committee  of  the  Mission  Board. 

The  Acting  Secretary  was  authorized  to  call  for  funds  to  provide  buildings 
for  the  night  school,  kindergarten,  and  the  pastor's  and  teacher's  residence  on

It  was  decided  to  begin  the  erection  of  a  chapel  at  Santa  Isabel  at  the 
earliest  possible  date. 

It  was  decided  to  purchase  an  available  property  for  a  parsonage  at 
Arus,  and  that  some  church  or  individual  be  given  the  privilege  of  assuming 
that  obligation,  the  minimum  price  having  been  set  at  $750. 

Acting  Secretary  McCord  was  instructed  to  inform  the  Mission  Board  of 

the  Southern  Christian  Convention  that  the  property  in  Porto  Rico  for  which 

said   board  had   appropriated  $3,500  cannot  be  secured  and  that  he  ask  the

Missionaries  Appointed. 

Rev.  W.  H.  Martin,  Mellott,  Ind.,  was  placed  under  appointment  as  mis- 
sionary to  Porto  Rico,  the  details  of  his  sailing  to  be  worked  out  by  the  Acting

The  appointment  of  Rev.  W.  Q.  McKnight  was  transferred  from  Porto 
Rico  to  Japan,  with  instructions  to  sail  at  the  earliest  moment. 

Resolutions. 

That  we  commend  the  action  of  The  American  Christian  Convention  at  its 
latest  session  in  authorizing  a  deputation  to  visit  our  mission  field  in  Japan; 
and  we  call  the  attention  of  its  Executive  Board  to  the  fact  that  the  gathering 
of  the  World's  Sunday-school  Association  in  Japan  will  provide  an  opportune 
occasion  for  such  a  visitation. 

That  we  express  our  hearty  appreciation  of  the  splendid  work  done  by 
the  Woman's  Foreign  Mission  Board  in  exceeding  their  goal  during  the  past 
year  and  that  we  request  them  to  continue  the  support  of  the  Sendai  field. 

That  we  learn  with  pleasure  concerning  the  increasing  interest  in  and  giv- 
ing for  missionary  work  by  the  Southern  Christian  Convention  as  evidenced  in 
the  new  and  larger  goal  just  set  by  our  missionary  workers  there,  viz.: 
$500,000  to  be  secured  in  cash  and  pledges  within  three  years  from  this  date 
for  home  and  foreign  missions.  We  hope  this  faith  and  vision  may  be  not  only 
blessed  of  God,  and  that  this  goal  may  not  only  be  reached,  but  that  in  so 
doing  it  shall  be  an  inspiration  to  every  other  section  of  our  brotherhood. 

.  That  we  express  our  hearty  appreciation  of  the  devoted  leadership  of  Miss 
Carrie  Robison,  and  the  untiring  efforts  of  our  young  people  in  providing  for 
the  chapel  at  Santa  Isabel. 

Resolved,  That  it  is  with  regret  that  at  this  session  of  the  Mission  Board 
wTe  lose  from  our  membership  and  official  service,  Rev.  Milo  T.  Morrill,  D.  D. 

Dr.  Morrill  has  been  a  member  of  the  Mission  Board  of  the  Christian 
Church  for  twenty  years  and  his  service  has  been  faithfully  and  unselfishly  ren- 
dered. Of  this  time  he  has  been  Foreign  Mission  Secretary  for  more  than 
twelve  years  and  President  of  the  Mission  Board  for  several  years.  In  all  of 
these  positions  he  has  rendered  most  valuable  service  to  the  Kingdom  and  to 
our  church. 

We  desire  to  express  our  appreciation  of  him  as  a  man  and  a  Christian 
and  as  an  efficient  and  conscientious  official.  His  administration  has  been  char- 
acterized by  his  splendid  statesmanship. 

We  congratulate  Defiance  College  and  the  Christian  Divinity  School  in 
securing  his  valuable  services  and  wish  him  splendid  success  in  this  new  rela- 
tionship. 

All  matters  of  unfinished  business  at  the  close  of  the  session  were  referred 
to  the  Mission  Council.

Education 

Effect  of  the  War  Upon  Our  Schools  and  Colleges. 

The  mobilization  of  the  young  manhood  of  the  nation,  in  the  prosecution 
of  the  great  war  could  not  but  effect  our  educational  institutions.  Subject  to  the 
call  of  the  government,  to  be  sent  where  it  listed,  the  life  course  of  most  of 
our  able-bodied  young  men  was  temporarily,  at  least,  deflected.  Many  were 
obliged  to  leave  college,  while  some  entered  who  would  probably  not  have  done 
so  otherwise.  The  introduction  of  military  training  in  all  the  colleges  of  the 
land,  where  units  could  be  raised,  tended  to  make  more  complex  than  usual  the 
courses  of  studies.  Finances,  too,  were  greatly  affected.  The  swift  changes 
through  which  our  schools  have  been  obliged  to  go  in  their  adjustments  and 
readjustments  have  made  the  task  of  maintaining  and  developing  their  stand- 
ards very  difficult.  Throughout  the  period  of  the  war  all  our  schools  and  col- 
leges were  kept  in  operation  but  one,  and  that  suspended  temporarily  as  a 
measure  of  expediency. 

The  Future  of  Our  Ministry  and  Missionary  Force. 

The  number  of  ministerial  candidates  reported  by  all  our  schools  and  col- 
leges in  1916  was  110;  in  1917,  85;  and  in  1918  only  52.  The  number  reported 
this  year- is-  73. 

The  situation  is  one  to  which  the  church  is  turning  its  attention  with  in- 
creasing earnestness.  It  is  estimated  that  at  least  fifty  young  men  and  women, 
graduating  from  our  colleges,  should  pledge  themselves  to  the  work  of  the 
gospel  ministry,  each  year,  for  the  next  five  years,  in  order  that  provision  may 
be  made  for  the  increasing  needs  of  the  church.  This  will  represent  a  fourfold 
increase  of  the  number  now  in  training.  It  is  entirely  possible  before  the 
five-year  period  is  ended,  with  the  impetus  of  the  new  life  that  is  beginning  to 
course  through  the  church,  this  number  will  have  to  be  augmented.

The  imperative  need  demands  the  church  adopt  Christ's  method  of  provid- 
ing laborers — a  universal  resort  to  prayer.  The  burden  must  be  laid  upon 
officials,  pastors,  churches,  and  colleges.  The  experience  of  the  past  demon- 
strates not  much  success  will  be  achieved  in  filling  the  thinning  ranks  and 
in  providing  leaders  for  new  enterprises  until  the  church  prays  the  Lord  of 
the  harvest  for  harvesters.  The  Educational  Board  is  asking  assistance  of 
our  ministers  in  securing  the  names  and  addresses  of  all  our  youth  who  by 
reason  of  temperment,  religious  training,  and  intellectual  capacity,  the  pastor 
thinks  might  be  induced  to  consider  the  work  of  the  gospel  ministry.  These 
names  will  be  kept  on  file  in  the  office  of  the  Convention  Secretary,  Dr.  Burnett, 
and  from  time  to  time  literature  will  be  sent  them  bearing  upon  the  matter. 
Our  colleges  will  be  asked  to  co-operate  by  preparing  literature  with  the  educa- 
tional appeal  and  placing  it  in  the  hands  of  all  in  their  constituency.  Bearing 
in  mind  the  large  number  who  decide  for  the  ministry  before  attaining  the  age 
of  sixteen  the  value  of  an  early  appeal  on  the  part  of  the  minister,  or  some 
friend  in  the  church,  must  be  kept  in  mind.  The  Educational  Board  will  also 
expect  to  assist  our  schools  and  colleges  in  their  efforts  to  place  squarely  before 
their  student  body  the  call  for  definite  Christian  service. 

The  Board  is  arranging  for  a  $25  honorarium  for  the  most  acceptable 
article  on  The  Call  of  the  Ministry,  open  to  all  members  of  the  Christian  denom- 
ination; triplicate  typewritten  copy  to  be  sent  in  by  December  31,  1919,  not  to 
exceed  2,000  words  in  length,  and  to  be  passed  upon  by  judges  selected,  if  pos- 
sible, outside  the  denomination  by  the  Educational  Board. 

Educational  Week. 

The  Board  has  set  aside  the  week  preceding  the  last  Sunday  in  February 
as  Educational  Week.  During  this  period,  which  coincides  with  "The  Universal 
Day  of  Prayer  of  the  Christian  Student  Federation  of  the  World,"  all  the 
churches  and  educational  institutions  of  the  denomination  will  be  asked  to  join 
in  prayer  for  the  educational  work  of  the  church  and  of  the  nation,  that  it  may 
be  moved  by  Christian  motive  and  infilled  with  the  Christian  spirit.  Churches 
will  be  urged  to  utilize  the  opportunity  to  present  the  claims  of  Christian  edu- 
cation to  our  youth  and  secure  life  recruits  for  Christian  service.  All  organiza- 
tions in  the  church,  including  the  service  of  worship,  the  Church  School,  Youn« 
People's  Societies,  etc.,  will  be  asked  to  unite  in  making  the  week,  including 
the  last  Sunday  of  the  month,  a  period  of  educational  value.  Programs  for 
such  services  will  be  published  in  The  Herald  of  Gospel  Liberty. 

Forward  Movement. 

The  Board  lias  and  will  continue  to  co-operate  in  every  possible  manner 
with  the  Forward  Movement  Committee  in  bringing  to  the  most  successful 
issue  possible  the  Five- Year  Program.  It  is  to  be  noted  in  this  connection 
that  in  those  conferences  where  the  most  advanced  steps  have  been  taken  by 
the  church  and  the  greatest  degree  of  optismism  obtains  as  to  its  growth  and 
power  the  pulpits  are  filled  with  graduates  of  our  own  colleges.  The  real 
success  of  the  present  and  of  any  other  Forward  Movement  of  the  church  de- 
pends in  a  most  certain  way  upon  the  contribution  of  our  own  colleges  to  the 
equipping  of  the  future  leadership  of  the  church. 


60  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

Council  of  Church  Board  of  Education. 

The  Educational  Board  has  been  a  corresponding  member  of  the  Council  of 
Church  Boards  and  was  represented  at  the  Annual  Meeting  in  Chicago  in  April. 
It  is  expected  the  Board  will  be  represented  at  future  meetings  of  the  Council. 
The  influence  of  the  Council  of  Church  Educational  Boards,  representing  as  it 
does  eighteen  of  the  principal  Protestant  communions  of  the  country,  through 
the  greater  constituency  behind  it,  is  becoming  manifestly  more  determined  in 
the  educational  program  of  the  whole  nation. 

The    Interchurch    World    Movement. 

The  action  of  the  Convention  at  Conneaut  in  endorsing  the  program  of  the 
Interchurch  World  Movement,  of  necessity  lays  upon  the  Educational  Board  the 
task  of  co-operating  with  the  Movement  in  its  world-wide  program.  The  prin- 
cipal function  of  the  Interchurch  World  Movement,  from  an  educational  stand- 
point, will  be  to  make  exhaustive  surveys  of  national  educational  conditions  and 
recommend  such  action  as  may  be  considered  in  the  best  interests  of  a  religious 
educational  policy  for  the  nation.  To  this  the  Educational  Board  of  the  Chris- 
tian Church  will  give  every  possible  assistance. 

Raising  Educational  Standards  for  Ordination. 

At  the  Conneaut  Convention  the  Commission  on  Education  recommended, 
and  the  Convention  adopted,  the  following  resolution: 

That  a  college  education,  or  its  equivalent,  be  the  standard  requirement  for 
ordination  to  the  gospel  ministry  by  the  Christian  denomination  for  all  persons 
entering  the  ministry,  as  a  profession  after  January  1,  1919,  and  that  a  complete 
seminary  course  be  the  ideal  set  by  this  Convention,  to  be  attained  at  the 
earliest  date  possible. 

All  our  conferences  are  urged  as  strongly  as  possible  to  adopt  this  standard 
for  ordination  that  there  may  be  uniformity  of  action  throughout  the  denom- 
ination. Such  a  standard  has  already  been  adopted  by  the  Southern  Christian 
Convention,  and  several  of  the  leading  conferences,  to  the  very  great  enlarge- 
ment and  effectual  working  of  the  church  in  these  sections.  After  one  confer- 
ence has  refused  ordination  to  an  applicant,  because  of  inferior  educational 
qualification,  it  is  manifestly  unfair  and  unwise  for  another  conference,  per- 
haps contiguous,  to  ordain  him  without  further  requirement. 

The  Board  is  seeking  to  secure  from  all  our  conferences,  acceptance  of  the 
Convention  action. 

Aid  for  Ministerial  Students. 

Your  Board  has  adopted  a  new  policy  of  aiding  ministerial  students.  A 
Beneficiary  Fund  has  been  set  aside  for  this  purpose. 

Appreciating  the  fact,  as  other  denominations  have  recognized  for  some 
time,  that  the  future  of  the  church  at  large  must  rest  upon  an  educated  min- 
istry, we  believe  that  our  denomination  must  make  a  systematic  effort  to  aid 
worthy  young  men  in  preparing  for  the  ministry  as  a  life  work.  Every  pro- 
gressive denomination  has  been  making  such  provision  for  their  young  men  for 
some  time,  and  have  reaped  the  benefits  by  way  of  efficient  service  and  a  deeper 
loyalty  on  the  part  of  the  ministers  towards  their  respective  denomination. 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  61 

Some  denominations  make  loans  to  their  ministerial  students  as  a  means 
of  assistance,  the  recipients  signing  a  note  to  repay  the  amount,  with  a  small 
rate  of  interest,  within  a  certain  number  of  years  after  graduation. 

This  plan  has  considerable  in  its  favor,  but  it  occurs  to  the  members  of 
your  Board  of  Education  that  such  a  plan  does  not  express  the  church's  appre- 
ciation of  the  young  men,  who,  because  of  their  high  estimate  of  the  gospel 
ministry  desire  to  prepare  themselves  efficiently  for  its  tasks;  and,  furthermore, 
we  believe  that  it  is  not  fair  to  the  young  men  themselves,  nor  to  the  churches 
they  will  serve  after  graduation,  for  them  to  have  such  a  burden  of  debt 
imposed  upon  them.  The  inadequate  salaries  they  will  receive  will  not  enable 
them  to  meet  such  obligations  without  unjust  sacrifice  on  their  part. 

We  believe  that  the  laity  of  the  church  should  express  its  appreciation  of, 
and  its  belief  in,  an  educated  ministry,  by  making  a  continual  investment  in 
the  work  of  educating  the  young  men  who  are  willing  to  devote  their  lives  to 
the  service  of  the  church. 

To  this  end  it  is  the  sense  of  your  Board  of  Education  that  the  Christian 
denomination  shall  offer  a  special  incentive  in  the  form  of  merit  scholarship, 
to  aid  young  men  who  are  taking  work  in  some  accredited  college,  preferably 
one  of  our  own  schools,  in  preparation  for  the  ministry. 

The  basis  of  such  scholarships  shall  be  as  follows: 

1.  The  scholarships  are  to  be  granted  only  to  young  men  and  women  who 
declare  their  purpose  at  least  to  complete  the  college  course,  and  take  at  least 
one  year  of  work  in  a  theological  seminary,  it  being  recommended  by  the  Board 
that  recipients  of  scholarships  shall  complete  a  full  seminary  course. 

2.  Any  student  preparing  for  the  ministry  in  the  Christian  denomination, 
and  maintaining  an  average  grade  of  eighty  per  cent,  in  the  literary  subjects 
during  the  Freshman  year,  is  to  be  awarded  a  cash  scholarship  of  one  hundred 
dollars,  with  the  provision  that  he  is  not  to  take  regular  preaching  appointments 
during  the  school  year,  and  that  he  is  to  carry  full  college  work. 

3.  Any  ministerial  student  in  the  Sophomore  year  of  college,  who  main- 
tains an  average  grade  of  eighty-five  per  cent,  in  the  literary  subjects,  will  be 
awarded  a  scholarship  of  one  hundred  dollars,  with  the  proviso  that  he  is  not 
to  take  regular  preaching  appointments  during  the  school  year,  and  that  he 
is  to  carry  full  college  work. 

4.  Any  ministerial  student,  in  the  Junior  and  Senior  year  of  college,  who 
maintains  an  average  grade  of  eighty-five  per  cent,  in  the  literary  subjects 
during  the  year,  will  be  awarded  a  scholarship  of  one  hundred  dollars,  with  the 
proviso  that  during  the  Junior  year  he  shall  not  take  more  than  half-time 
preaching,  and  that  in  each  year  he  shall  carry  full  college  work. 

5.  Any  ministerial  student,  graduating  from  college,  who  has  maintained 
an  average  grade  of  eighty-five  per  cent,  in  the  literary  subjects  during  the 
college  course,  will  be  awarded  a  cash  scholarship  of  two  hundred  dollars  for 
the  first  year  in  any  accredited  theological  seminary,  which  meets  with  the 
approval  of  the  Board,  preference  being  given  to  a  seminary  of  the  Christian 
denomination,  with  the  proviso  that  he  is  to  pursue  the  regular  required  course 
of  study,  and  does  not  assume  the  responsibility  of  full-time  preaching  service. 

6.  Any  student  maintaining  an  average  grade  of  eighty  per  cent.,  or  its 
equivalent,  during  his  first  year  of  the  seminary  course,  is  to  be  awarded  a  cash 
scholarship  of  one  hundred  dollars  a  year,  during  his  second  and  third  years  of 


62  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

the  seminary  course.  The  Board  realizes  the  possibility  of  second  and  third 
year  seminary  students  taking  regular  supply  work  while  pursuing  their  course 
of  study. 

Further  Conditions  Relative  to  Awarding  Scholarships. 

1.  The  recipient  is  to  sign  an  agreement  that  in  receiving  the  scholarship, 
he  is  pledged  to  the  work  of  the  ministry  in  the  Christian  denomination,  as  a 
life  work,  and  that,  if  he  decides  to  enter  some  other  vocation,  before  gradu- 
ation, or  within  five  years  after  graduation,  or  if  at  any  time  within  ten  years 
he  leaves  the  Christian  denomination  to  engage  in  service  for  some  other  denom- 
ination, he  is  to  pay  back  to  the  Educational  Board,  on  demand,  all  scholarship 
funds  received,  with  interest  at  three  per  cent,  per  annum. 

2.  These  scholarships  are  to  be  paid  in  equal  installments,  at  the  end  of 
each  semester. 

3.  Application  blanks  will  be  furnished  candidates  for  scholarships,  upon 
request,  and  any  candidate  receiving  a  scholarship  must  first  have  the  endorse- 
ment of  the  church  to  which  he  belongs,  and  of  the  conference  of  which  he  is  a 
member. 

4.  If  at  any  time  a  student  receiving  a  scholarship,  proves  to  be  tempera- 
mentally, or  morally,  unfit  for  the  work  of  the  gospel  ministry,  the  Educational 
Board  reserves  the  right  to  withhold  further  aid. 

5.  The  Board  shall  have  the  authority  to  act  at  its  discretion  in  making 
scholarship  awards  to  students  taking  advanced  theological  study. 

Any  young  man  or  woman  who  is  eligible  for  aid  is  invited  to  correspond 
with  the  Secretary  of  the  Department,  Rev.  W.  G.  Sargent,  11  Rutland  St., 
Providence,  R  I.,  with  a  view  to  furthering  their  plans  of  preparing  themselves 
educationally  for  the  ministry  at  home  or  abroad. 

Organizations  within  the  church,  such  as  Brotherhoods,  Women's  Societies, 
Church  Schools,  Organized  Classes,  Young  People's  Societies,  and  churches 
themselves  are  invited  to  provide,  in  part  or  in  whole,  annual  scholarship  which 
will  be  devoted  to  helping  some  young  man  through  college  who  desires  to 
enter  the  gospel  ministry  and  who  would  have  difficulty  in  securing  an  education. 

Districting  the  Field. 

The  Board  was  requested  by  The  American  Christian  Convention  to  district 
the  church  in  the  interests  of  the  educational  development  of  the  whole  field. 
The  task  has  been  beset  with  much  difficulty,  but  a  subdivision  of  territory  has 
been  made  which  is  herewith  submitted:  ■ 

Defiance  College — Eel  River  Conference,  Indiana;  the  States  of  Ohio,  Mich- 
igan, Maine,  New  Hampshire,  Vermont,  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  and 
Connecticut;  the  States  of  New  York,  New  Jersey,  and  Pennsylvania  to  be 
worked  jointly  with  Palmer  Institute-Starkey  Seminary  in  the  interests  of 
collegiate  and  secondary  education  respectively. 

Elon  College — The  Southern  Christian  Convention. 

Jireh  College — A  Home  Mission  educational  institution  and  as  such  the 
special  interest  of  the  entire  denomination. 

Palmer  College-Starkey  Seminary — The  States  of  New  York,  New  Jersey, 
and  Pennsylvania,  to  be  worked  jointly  with  Defiance  College  in  the  interests 
of  secondary  and  collegiate  education,  respectively. 


THE    CHRISTIAN    ANNUAL  63 

Palmer  College — The  Western  Christian  Convention. 

Union  Christian  College — The  States  of  Illinois,  Kentucky,  Wisconsin,  and 
Indiana,  with  the  exception  of  the  Eel  River  Conference. 

It  is  expected  each  institution  will  develop  its  own  field  in  interesting  the 
youth  in  college  training  and  securing  financial  assistance  through  special  col- 
lege days  and  other  methods.  Our  educational  opportunities  and  needs  must 
be  clearly  presented  to  every  community  and  church  if  our  constituency  is  to 
support  our  educational  work  as  it  should.  In  presenting  the  local  institution 
each  representative  will  be  asked  to  set  the  educational  task  of  the  whole 
denomination  before  the  people. 

Evangelism  in  Our  Colleges. 

Our  colleges  are  being  urged  to  make  some  form  of  special  evangelistic 
appeal  to  the  body  of  students  during  the  college  year.  While  the  Board  does 
not  undertake  to  suggest  the  form  that  presentation  may  take,  it  is  strongly 
of  the  opinion  a  series  of  special  services,  stressing  the  Christian  appeal  and 
looking  to  the  deepening  of  the  spiritual  life  might  well  be  held  each  year  in 
all  our  institutions.  For  the  purpose  either  some  expert  from  outside  or  some 
member  or  members  of  the  faculty  may  be  utilized  in  the  presentation  of 
Christ's  claims.  This  affords  an  excellent  opportunity  for  the  recruiting  of 
young  men  and  women  for  life  service. 

Summer  Institutes  at  College  Centers. 

The  Board  is  urging  upon  some  of  our  colleges  the  value  and  possibility  of 
Summer  Institutes  for  Ministers.  At  least  four  of  our  colleges  are  so  situated 
as  to  offer  ample  opportunity  for  such  gatherings — Palmer,  Union  Christian, 
Defiance,  and  Elon.  If  the  churches,  ministers,  and  colleges  will  co-operate  to 
this  end  the  advantage  will  be  very  great.  A  ten  days'  or  two  weeks'  course  of 
lectures  sometime  during  July  or  August,  by  experts  in  departments  of  Chris- 
tian life  and  service,  would  contribute  much  to  the  greater  efficiency  of  our 
church  life.  Two  of  our  institutions,  Defiance  and  Elon,  purpose  holding  such 
institutes  next  year.  If  the  churches  will  co-operate  by  sending  their  ministers 
they  will  reap  a  hundredfold  by  the  venture.  Wide  and  early  publicity  will  be 
needed  to  secure  the  interest  of  all  pastors  in  such  a  movement. 

University  Pastors. 

No  definite  attempt,  as  yet,  has  been  made  by  the  Christian  Church  to 
meet  the  denominational  need  at  state  university  centers.  The  only  cities  where 
state  universities  are  located  where  there  are  Christian  churches  are  Urbana, 
Illinois;  Columbus,  Ohio;  Chapel  Hill,  North  Carolina,  and  Albany,  New  York. 
The  need  for  constructive  work  here  is  most  serious.  In  state  university  sen- 
ters  where  provision  is  not  made  our  young  people  go  to  the  institutions  and 
are  either  uncared  for  spiritually  or  have  to  depend  upon  the  good  work  being 
done  by  the  university  pastor  of  some  sister  church. 

Appreciating  that  as  we  may  the  fact  remains  the  church  is  losing  greatly 
by  not  establishing  churches  in  university  centers  which  will  at  once  afford  an 
outlet  for  the  Christian  activities  of  young  men  and  women  going  from  Chris- 
tian homes,  and  nurture  the  lives  of  such  of  our  people  as  may  be  found  in 
attendance  in  such  institutions.  Moreover  with  the  fact  the  Christian  Church 
has  a  message  for  our  democratic  age  which  is  sadly  needed,  the  opportunities 


64  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

for  propo^andic  service  are  unlimited.  The  Board  is  thoroughly  of  the  opinion 
co-operative  action  should  be  taken  here  by  the  Home  Mission  Board  and  the 
Board  of  Education. 

Special  College  Days. 

For  some  years  some  of  our  institutions  have  been  following  the  practice 
of  observing  Annual  College  Days.  The  Sunday  selected  has  been  the  oppor- 
tunity of  the  college  in  question  to  present  the  claims  of  the  institution  upon 
the  constituency  in  the  midst  of  which  its  work  is  being  done.  Having  worked 
successfully  with  those  colleges  that  have  most  thoroughly  tried  the  experi- 
ment, it  has  become  a  settled  custom  with  them  and  has  been  adopted  by  others 
of  our  institutions. 

Special  Days  are  at  present  observed  by  those  schools  that  have  adopted 
the  practice  as  follows: 

Defiance — Second  Sunday  in  November. 

Union  Christian — Second  Sunday  in  July. 

Elon— 

Palmer — 

The  observance  of  Special  College  Days  makes  possible  more  thorough  cul- 
tivation of  the  local  church  with  respect  to  arousing  educational  interest,  en- 
larging financial  aid  and  securing  the  ear  of  the  young  people  who  may  desire 
higher  educational  advantage,  than  can  be  done  by  the  long  arm  of  the  Board, 
and  for  this  reason,  as  well  as  for  others,  is  to  be  commended. 

Convention  and  Conference  Educational  Officials. 

Five  state  conventions  have  educational  representatives  on  their  officiary — 
New  York,  Ohio,  Indiana,  Illinois,  and  Western  Christian  Convention.  New 
England  has  an  Educational  Society.  Kentucky  and  Kansas  State  Conventions 
have  no  educational  officials. 

Thirty-two  conferences,  outside  the  bounds  of  the  Southern  Christian  Con- 
vention, have  Educational  Secretaries.  Four  of  the  southern  conferences  have 
Educational  Committees.  The  Afro-Chi'istian  Convention  also  has  an  Educa- 
tional Committee. 

These  educational  officials  are  the  media  of  approach  for  the  Educational 
Board  to  the  Conventions  and  Conferences.  No  conference  is  too  small  or  too 
peculiarly  situated  to  have  an  educational  representative  on  its  official  staff. 
Indeed,  it  is  very  significant  that  the  conferences  that  are  small  are  those  who 
do  not  stress  education. 

Endowments. 

Plans  are  under  way,  or  have  been  completed,  for  enlarging  our  Endowment 
Funds  over  $1,000,000.  Of  this  at  least  one-half  has  been  raised.  It  is  hoped 
before  the  year  is  completed  the  entire  amount  asked  for  will  have  been  sub- 
scribed. 

Finances. 

The  total  amount  of  money  raised  last  year  for  education  by  the  church 

was .     The  amount  passing  through  the  treasury  of  the  Board  was 

$2,620.25,  which  with  a  balance  of  $324.38  made  a  total  of  $2,944.63.     Of  this, 
$400.64  was  devoted  to  the  expenses  of  the  department.     Grants  to  the  amount 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  65 

of  $2,343.99  were  made   to  schools   and  colleges   and   $200.00  was  devoted  to 
interdenominational  interests. 

Every  effort  will  be  made  this  year  to  reach  the  $5,000  budget  set  by  the 
Board  of  Church  Polity  for  the  Educational  Department. 

The  two  following  resolutions  were  also  submitted  and  adopted  by  the 
United  Boards. 

1.  It  is  the  judgment  of  the  Board  that  the  time  has  come  for  it  to  be 
incorporated,  in  view  of  the  fact  that  probably  $200,000  of  the  $1,000,000  For- 
ward Movement  Fund  will  be  handed  over  to  the  Educational  Board,  and,  also, 
that  from  this  time  forth,  doubtless,  bequests  will  be  made  from  time  to  time. 

2.  That  the  request  of  the  Trustees  of  Jireh  College  for  a  grant  of 
$100,000  be  made  as  soon  as  such  funds  shall  be  available,  if  in  the  judgment 
of  the  representatives  hereafter  to  be  appointed  from  the  Educational  and 
Home  Mission  Boards  respectively,  after  they  have  made  a  thorough  survey  of 
the  religious  and  educational  possibilities  of  Wyoming,  the  opportunities  war- 
rant the  denomination  in  investing  so  heavily  in  the  Home  Mission  and  Edu- 
cational enterprise  in  the  State  of  Wyoming.  It  being  understood  that  Jireh 
College  will  secure  its  holdings  to  The  American  Christian  Convention  in  such 
a  way  as  shall  be  satisfactory  to  said  Convention,  and  that  a  campaign  will  be 
opened  at  once  in  Wyoming  to  raise  an  equal  amount  of  $100,000.00. 


AGED  CHRISTIAN  MINISTERS'  HOME 

The  Aged  Christian  Ministers'  Home,  Lakemont,  N.  Y.,  practically  repre- 
sents our  denomination's  chief  effort  to  care  for  its  ministers  and  their  wives 
when  they  are  too  old  to  be  able  to  carry  on  their  work.  The  Home  is  located 
in  one  of  the  most  beautiful  places  in  the  whole  country.  All  the  care  that  the 
income  allows  is  taken  of  the  residents.  A  larger  endowment  could  give  them 
many  more  comforts.  A  larger  and  more  modern  house  with  more  rooms  on 
the  lower  floor  is  needed,  for  stairs  are  not  appreciated  very  much  by  people  in 
the  eighties.  Many  of  our  people  have  been  very  successful  financially.  Re- 
member the  Home!  When  you  make  your  wills,  plan  to  make  the  later  years  of 
God's  retired  servants  brighter. 

The  members  of  the  Home  are  Christian  ladies  and  gentlemen,  and  as  such 
are  appreciated  by  all  the  people  of  the  community.  Rev.  and  Mrs.  Edward 
French  are  well  known  in  New  Jersey,  New  York,  and  Pennsylvania.  Rev.  and 
Mrs.  Robert  G.  Fenton  were  long  in  the  New  York  Eastern  Conference.  The 
name  of  Mrs.  Joseph  Barney's  husband  was  a  household  word  in  southwestern 
Pennsylvania,  and  those  familiar  with  missionary  annals  must  know  of  the 
widow  of  Rev.  E.  C.  B.  Hallam,  long  of  India.  The  Home  and  its  members  are 
cared  for  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  Walters.  The  officers  are :  President,  Rev.  J.  W. 
Wilson,  Jamestown,  N.  Y.;  Treasurer,  Mr.  James  S.  Frost,  West  Henrietta, 
N.  Y.;  Secretary,  Rev.  John  MacCalman,  Lakemont,  N.  Y.  Trustees — Dr.  M.

THE    CHRISTIAN    CHURCH    PROGRAM 

By  Rev.  Warren  H.  Denison,  D.  D.,  Superintendent 

Nothing  has  so  gripped  our  people  and  united  them  so  much  in  the  writer's 
judgment  as  our  Forward  Movement  program.  In  May  the  Forward  Move- 
ment Committee  was  convinced  that  our  goals  were  not  nearly  large  enough, 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  67 

so  at  the  time  of  the  Conneaut  Convention  it  recommended  that  the  financial 
goal  be  raised  from  $500,000  to  $2,000,000,  and  the  plans  so  modified  as  to 
work  for  that  end.  This  was  one  of  the  most  enthusiastic  actions  of  the  Con- 
vention. 

The  Forward  Movement  program  is  a  five-year  program  of  ivork  for  the 
Christian  Church.  It  is  an  intensive  and  extensive  program  of  work  that  our 
church  may  do  her  part  in  meeting  the  tremendous  needs  of  the  world  in  this 
crisis  hour  of  history.  May  God  help  our  church  to  take  her  place  and  do  her 
work  now  in  this  needy  world!  Never,  never  has  there  been  such  need.  Our 
leaders  have  a  vision  of  it  and  are  determined  that  we  shall  not  fail  in  this 
duty. 

It  is  a  five-pointed  program  for  five  years.  Every  church  and  pastor  is 
expected  to  make  the  five  items  the  program  of  the  local  church.  Many  of 
our  pastors  have  already  built  their  whole  church  life  around  these  five  funda- 
mentals and  reorganized  the  church  upon  that  basis.  The  conferences,  the  dis- 
trict conventions,  State  associations,  institutes,  church  boards,  and  all  the 
agencies  of  the  church  are  already  making  it  their  program.  Never  before 
in  our  history  have  our  whole  people  been  united  upon  a  church  program. 
There  is  inspiration  in  feeling  that  our  whole  church  is  behind  the  whole 
program.  It  is  very  pleasing  to  our  people  everywhere,  and  makes  one  of  our 
strong  appeals. 

Such  a  program  as  that  offered  by  our  Forward  Movement  was  officially 
woven  into  the  denomination's  program  at  the  October  meeting  of  the  Executive 
Board  of  The  American  Christian  Convention,  October,  1919,  when  it  adopted 
the  following  program  with  specific  times  for  emphasis  upon  definite  parts  of 
it  as  follows : 

January  and  February — Evangelism; 

March,  April,  May,  June — Missions; 

July,  August,  September,  October — Religious  Education; 

November  and  December — The  Spiritual  Life  and  Christian  Stewardship. 
This  program  was  submitted  to  and  approved  by  the  Mission,  Education,  Sun- 
day-school, Christian  Endeavor,  Publishing,  and  Church  Polity  Boards. 

To  carry  out  such  a  Forward  Movement  program  and  to  do  our  reasonable 
share  of  Christian  work  in  the  world,  it  is  absolutely  necessary  that  we  raise 
in  the  five  years,  January  1,  1918,  to  January  1,  1923,  at  least  two  millions  of 
dollars.  One  million  of  this  is  to  be  raised  in  the  regular  benevolent  channels 
of  the  church,  such  as  The  American  Christian  Convention  calls,  missionary 
societies,  conference  funds,  college  endowment  funds,  etc.,  etc. 

The  other  million  is  to  be  raised  in  a  special  canvass  for  five-year  sub- 
scriptions. Already  the  canvass  has  been  made  in  our  New  England  churches 
and  about  $100,000  pledged  there.  Other  individuals  and  churches  have  pledged 
so  that  fully  $150,000  has  been  secured  at  this  date  for  the  special  million. 
The  Southern  Christian  Convention,  Dr.  J.  O.  Atkinson,  Mission  Field  Secre- 
tary, has  secured  about  $150,000  also  for  missions,  and  this  will  be  a  part  of 
the  special  million  of  dollars.  All  our  colleges  are  now  in  campaigns  for 
endowment  funds:  Elon,  Defiance,  Union  Christian,  Palmer,  Jireh.     These  are  a 


68 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 


part  of  the  two  million  goal.     Elon  has  completed  its  canvass  with  $375,000 
as  a  result.     The  others  are  in  the  midst  of  their  campaigns. 

Our  people  can  do  things  worth  while;  they  want  to  do  things  worth  while. 
They  are  doing,  and  will  continue  to  go  forward.  The  Forward  Movement 
moves.

The  institution  is  an  institu- 
tion of  charity  and  is  supported 
in  the  following  manner.  Each 
church  is  asked  to  make  an  an- 
nual Thanksgiving  offering  and 
an  annual  Easter  offering.  All 
Sunday-schools  are  requested  to 
contribute  one  offering  per 
month  to  the  maintenance  of  the 
institution.  Individual  gifts  and 
bequests  are  solicited. 

The  institution  has  had  in  its 
C'i"9  137  children.  Seventy  have 
c'ae  out  to  make  their  way  in 
iii'e  and  sixty  are  in  the  build- 
ing at  the  present  time,  which  is 
the  limit  of  its  capacity. 

A  home  for  small  children  is 
very  much  needed  and  ought  to 
be  built  in  the  near  future. 
$20,000.00  will  build  and  equip 
this  building.  Contributions 
for  this  cause  will  be  very  grate- 
fully received.

Centenary  Conferences 


Homo  of  Nathan  Hill,  Pleasant  Hill,  Ohio,  where,  in  1S19,  the  Miami 
Ohio  Christian  Conference  was  organized. 

The  Southern  Ohio  Christian  Conference  met  in  its  one  hundredth  session 
at  Westboro,  Ohio,  in  October.  This  conference  will  be  one  hundred 
years  old  in  1920.  It  was  organized  at  the  mouth  of  Scioto  Brush 
Creek — now  Lawshe — in  Adams  County,  in  October,  1820.  The  First 
Centennial  will  be  celebrated  at  Union  Church,  Adams  County — the 
boyhood  home  of  the  editor  of  this  publication — in  October,  1920. 

The  Southern  Wabash  Christian  Conference  celebrated  its  one  hundredth 
anniversary,  at  Olney,  Illinois,  in  October,  1919.  The  early  records — 
if  kept — have  not  been  available  for  a  number  of  years  and  hence  the 
place  is  not  named  with  certainty;  but  the  time  of  its  organization  is 
reliably  certain.     The  program  honored  the  event. 

The  Miami  Ohio  Christian  Conference  celebrated  its  centennial  at  the 
home  of  its  birth,  Pleasant  Hill,  Ohio,  Aug.  30,  1919.  It  was  a  notable 
gathering.  Special  importance  was  given  the  occasion  by  the  written 
history  of  the  conference,  the  Centennial  History  of  the  Miami  Ohio 
Christian  Conference,  which  had  been  prepared  by  Rev.  B.  F. 
Vaughan,  who  had  served  the   conference   as   secretary  for  19  years.

REV.   L.  W.  BANNON 

Born  in  Deerfiekl,  Warren  County,  Ohio,  October  1,  1818. 
Joined  the  Christian  Church  in  1838.  Became  a  minister  in 
the  Western  Indiana  Christian  Conference,  1844.  He  missed 
but  two  sessions  of  the  conference  in  seventy-four  years. 
Died  at  Bloomingdale  Indiana,  October  20,  1919,  aged  101 
years  and  19  days. 

"And   now   behold,   I    know   that   ye   all   among   whom   I   have 

gone  preaching  the  Kingdom  of  God   shall   see  my 

face   no   more." 


REV.  WILLIAM  THOMAS  HERNDON 

Last   Great-grandson   of   Rev.   James   O'Kelley 

A    worthy  son   of  a  noble   sire. 

In  his  early  life  he  was  an  active  and  successful  physician, 
but  gave  up  his  large  and  remunerative  practice  for  the 
ministry  of  the  gospel,  to  which  he  devoted  his  life  and 
ability.  He  gave  his  denomination  a  sure  standing  in  the 
Kingdom  of  God.  He  was  an  earnest  advocate  of  temper- 
ance, and  spoke  for  prohibition  whenever  and  wherever  pos- 
sible. He  was  a  great  believer  in  education,  and  that  he 
might  help  Elon  College  in  a  very  direct  way,  he  gave  up  his 
pastorate,  and  devoted  himself  to  the  financial  interests  of 
that  institution.

IN  MEMORIAM 


The  Executive  Board  of  The  American  Christian  Convention,  in  session  in 
•Dayton,  Ohio,  October  29\  1919,  appointed  a  committee  of  which  Rev.  W.  G. 
Sargent  was  chairman  to  draft  resolutions  in  memory  of  the  late  Rev.  Doctor 
O.  W.  Powers.     The  report,  addressed  to  the  wife  and  daughter,  is  as  follows: 

The  passing  of  Dr.  O.  W.  Powers,  leaving  as  it  does,  the  denomination  to 
which  he  belonged  and  the  church  of  which  he  was  a  part  so  much  poorer  for 
his  going,  moves  the  Executive  Board  of  The  American  Christian  Convention, 
in  its  desire  to  express  its  deep  sense  of  the  personal  worth  of  our  deceased 
brother,  and  its  wish  to  manifest  heartfelt  sympathy  with  those  to  whom 
his  loss  is  most  immediate,  to  send  forth  this  resolution,  expressive  of  our 
consciousness  of  personal  loss  and  our  sympathy  with  you  in  your  great  sorrow. 

In  the  fellowship  of  private  life  we  knew  our  brother  as  courteous,  kindly, 
forgiving,  self-forgetful,  ever  ready  to  give  help  when  appealed  to  or  the  oppor- 
tunity offered,  loyal  in  his  friendships  and  consistently  faithful  in  his  appointed 
work. 

Looking  back  over  the  story  of  Dr.  Powers'  association  with  the  church,  we 
can  realize  anew  how  great  his  contribution  was  to  the  life  and  work,  not  alone 
of  the  Christian  denomination,  but  the  church  at  large.  His  native  intelligence, 
reinforced  by  life-long  study,  his  devotion,  reaching  to  the  point  of  glad  and 
long-continued  sacrifice,  fitted  him  for  the  place  of  leadership  he  so  pre-emi- 
nently occupied  in  the  church.  Like  his  Master,  whom  he  served  so  well,  he 
was  moved  with  one  great  impulse — to  do  the  will  of  his  Father,  and  in  the 
doing  he  counted  all  tbings  else  loss  that  he  might  serve  well.  For  the  many 
years  during  which  his  place  was  at  the  forefront  of  our  denominational  life, 
his  leadership  was  qualified  to  inspire  heroic  sacrifice  in  attaining  great  ends. 

Great  as  our  sense  of  deprivation  is,  we  cannot  but  feel  that,  passing  from 
us  as  he  did,  even  as  he  set  his  hand  to  a  new  and  most  difficult  task,  his 
splendid  courage  and  his  unconquerable  faith  must  add  new  incentive  to  that 
already  rendered  to  our  whole  denominational  life. 

Will  you  kindly  accept  from  the  Executive  Board  of  The  American  Chris- 
tian Convention  these  expressions  of  regard  and  sympathy  and  our  assurance 
of  belief  his  example  will  incite  us  all  to  a  deeper  loyalty  to  the  cause  of  the 
Friend  in  whose  presence  he  abides  with  deep  joy,  arid  with  whom  he  labors 
now,  as  he  has  ever  done,  in  loving  service. 

Done  on  behalf  of  the  Executive  Board  of  The  American  Christian 
Convention.  Committee.

FORWARD  TOGETHER 

By  Mrs.  Athella  Howsare 

President  of  the  Woman's  Board  for  Home  Missions 

The  belated  American  Christian  Convention,  April  29  to  May  5,  brought  to 
the  organized  woman's  work  as  well  as  to  all  other  lines  of  our  church  activity, 
a   quickened    zeal,   a  new   inspiration,   a   large:-   and    more   far-reaching   faith. 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  93 

Courage  is  contagious,  and  when  the  strong  hearts  from  all  sections  of  our 
Zion  came  together  at  Conneaut,  our  standards  had  to  be  carried  Forward  and 
new,  advanced  goals  set.  A  beautiful  spirit  of  harmony  and  helpfulness  pre- 
vailed throughout  that  wonderful  Convention  and  the  delegates  carried  home 
with  them  a  consciousness  that  the  work  we  have  pledged  ourselves  to,  is  no 
small  task  and  its  accomplishment  will  require  the  best  there  is  in  the  best 
of  us,  and  strengthening  of  our  weakest  lines  not  to  their  best  nor  to  ours  but 
to  God's  Best  through  us. 

It  was  a  wonderful  inspiration  to  have  the  missionaries  through  whom 
we  work,  face  us  and  tell  us  of  the  task,  its  needs  and  its  promises.  It  was 
a  joy  to  buy  a  new  "Gospel  Ford"  to  minister  to  the  needs  of  Western  Wash- 
ington after  Rev.  W.  R.  Caldwall  told  us  how  much  faster  he  could  get  to  the 
people  and  how  many  more  he  could  touch  in  the  same  time  through  the  service 
of  such  an  agency.  And  seeing  the  needs  in  Washington  and  other  sections  of 
the  West,  an  increased  appropriation  to  this  work  was  the  only  logical  result. 

Through  Rev.  W.  H.  Hendershot,  we  saw  Franklinton  Christian  College 
from  another  viewpoint,  and  agreed  to  do  a  larger  and  a  better  work  there. 
Our  missionaries,  Rev.  and  Mrs.  McCord,  as  always,  made  us  thankful  for  the 
privilege  of  serving  in  beautiful  Japan,  and  our  new  missionaries,  Rev.  and 
Mrs.  W.  Q.  McKnight,  were  a  benediction  by  their  very  presence.  A  great 
impetus  to  our  woman's  work  came  through  the  presence  and  the  persuasive 
eloquence  of  our  brother,  J.  0.  Atkinson,  of  Elon  College.  It  was  easy  to 
understand  how  our  women  of  the  South  were  doing  such  marvelous  things 
after  catching  his  spirit  and  his  rallying  call.  Space  forbids  even  the  mention 
of  the  many  other  contributing  agents  that  released  to  the  workers  there  to  be 
carried  home  by  them  and  made  effective  in  the  churches,  the  spirit  of  the 
Forward  Movement,  Christ's  call  to  us  of  the  Christian  Church  to  do  something 
now,  worthy  of  Christian  discipleship.  This  splendid  gathering  resulted  in  the 
recasting  of  our  goals  for  the  quadrennium,  which  now  read  as  follows: — 

1.  Devotion — Six  hundred  New  Pledged  Intercessors. 

2.  Evangelism — 

(a)  A  Woman's  Mission  Board  thoroughly  organized  in  every  con- 

ference. 

(b)  One  Hundred  New  Missionary  Societies. 

(c)  Two  Thousand  New  Members  in  the  Societies. 

3.  Religious  Education — 

(a)  One    Hundred    and    Fifty    Missionary    Societies    studying    the 

Woman's  Home  and  Foreign  Mission  Study  books  each  year. 

(b)  Six  hundred  Increased  Christian  Missionary  Subscriptions. 

4.  Missions — One  Hundred  Thousand  Dollars  for  the  Quadrennium. 

5.  Benevolence — Teach   Tithing,   Stewardship,   Individuals,   and    Churches 

to  support  missionaries  and  missions. 


GOALS  FOR  1919—1920 

Foreign  Board — $15,000 

We  will  put  $10,000  of  this  amount  into  Japan  for  the  work  of  the  Sendai 
field;  the  Japanese  pastors  and  Bible  women,  whose  salaries  have  all  been 
increased;  the  Orphanage,  etc.;  the  salary  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  McCord,  which  we 


94  THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 

are  allowed  to  provide,  whether  they  are  in  Japan  or  America;  and  the  neces- 
sary administration  expenses  at  home.  We  propose  to  put  $1,000  into  Porto 
Rico  and  expect  our  young  people  to  provide  this  amount.  With  a  new  mis- 
sionary family  living  in  Santa  Isabel,  the  work  there  will  be  largely  increased. 
Our  building  and  equipment  fund  aim  is  $4,000.  We  expect  our  young  people 
to  give  $1,000  of  this  to  complete  their  chapel  and  furnish  other  equipment  for 
the  Santa  Isabel  field. 

Home  Board— $10,000 

$2,000  of  this  amount  is  expected  as  the  Home  half  of  the  Thank-offering,  to 
be  used  for  better  equipment,  especially  at  Franklinton. 

$4,000  is  needed  for  our  Frontier  work.  The  work  in  Washington  is  going 
splendidly.  Brother  Loucks  writes  encouragingly.  Brother  Caldwell 
says  that  the  new  Gospel  Ford  is  carrying  the  loggers'  sky  pilot  farther 
and  faster  and  to  more  places. 

$2,000  must  be  secured  for  the  normal  expense  of  the  work  at  Franklinton, 
outside  of  the  equipment  fund  coming  through  the  Thank-offering,  and 
besides  an  additional 

$1,000,  the  Goal  set  for  our  Young  People.  This  will  be  used  in  the  continued 
support  of  Mrs.  Mangrum  and  other  teachers  in  Franklinton.     The  final 

$1,000  of  our  ten-thousand  goal  will  be  used  for  administration  and  promotion. 
This  means  that  provision  will  be  made  for  the  firmer  establishment  of 
our  work  through  new  organizations  in  the  weaker  and  neglected  sec- 
tions, where  perhaps  our  general  workers  or  organizers  have  not  been 
invited  to  go  hitherto,  because  of  the  expense  entailed.  We  must  enlist 
new  workers  and  put  them  in  training  for  the  rapidly  developing  fields. 
Truly  the  harvest  is  great  and  the  laborers  few. 

Toward  the  accomplishment  of  these  goals  there  was  adopted  and  is  being 
worked  out  the  following: — 

PROGRAM  OF  ACTIVITY  FOR  LOCAL  MISSIONARY  SOCIETIES 

The  program  logically  falls   into   five  periods   and   the  primary   activities 
suggested  for  each  period  are  as  follows: 

Period  I.     Devotion. — January,  February. 

Objectives:    To  deepen  the  spiritual  life  of  our  members  and  to  increase  the 

number  of  pledged  intercessors. 
January. — Observe  the  Week  of  Prayer  for  Missions.     Suggestive  programs  will 

be  printed  in  our  denominational  publications. 
February. — Secure"  signers  of  the  Intercessor's  Covenant,  which  can  be  secured 

from  the  Literature  Department  of  our  Woman's  Boards. 
Distribute  some  leaflet  on  Intercession. 

Period  II.     Extension. — March,  April,  May. 

Objective:  Organization  of  new  societies.     Winning  of  new  members. 

March. — Careful  planning  of  the  campaign  in  both  local  societies  and  confer- 
ences. 

April.— The  definite,  enthusiastic  effort  to  increase  our  societies  and  member- 
ship in  both  the  Women's  and  Young  People's  Departments. 

May. — Reception  Service  for  new  members. 


THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL  95 

Period  III.     Cradle  Roll.— June. 

This  month  is  devoted  to  the  interests  of  our  Cradle  Roll  Department. 
Cradle  Roll  rallies  should  be  held  and  special  effort  made  to  secure  new  babies 
and  new  Rolls.  Conference  superintendents  should  push  the  work  during  this 
month  especially. 

Period  IV.     Education. — July,  August,  September. 
Objectives:    To  emphasize  the  importance  of  missionary  literature.     To  secure 

new  subscribers  to  The  Christian  Missionary. 
July. — Each  local  society  should  take  an  offering  for  the  Literature  Department 

of  our  Woman's  Boards,  averaging  five  cents  a  member.     Emphasize  the 

work  of  the  department  and  distribute  the  new  leaflets. 
August. — Give  special  attention  to  increasing  the  number  of  subscribers  to  The 

Christian  Missionary  and  endeavor  to  have  every  woman  read  at  least  one 

missionary  book  during  this  vacation  month. 
September. — Continue  the  canvass  for  new  subscribers.    Order  the  new  mission 

study  books  and  plan  the  programs  for  the  year.     The  Woman's  Boards 

prepare  suggestive  programs   on  the  current  books.     This  is  the  month 

when  each  society  is  asked  to  contribute  two  dollars  to  the  Ellen  G.  Gustin 

Memorial  Fund. 

Period  V.     Benevolence. — October,  November,  December. 
Objective:   To  promote  a  quickened  consciousness  of  our  stewardship  and  God's 
ownership.     To  inaugurate  plans  which  shall  result  in  increased  gifts  dur- 
ing the  year. 
October. — Careful,  prayerful  preparation  for  the  Thank-offering.    Set  a  definite 
goal  for  the  offering  and  set  it  high — so  high  that  you  will  be  driven  to 
our  Father  for  its  realization. 
November. — Thank-offering  Month. 

This  meeting  should  be  the  crowning  one  of  the  year,  both  in  attendance  and 
spiritual  influence.  Make  it  an  offering  not  a  collection,  and  seek  the  co- 
operation and  participation  of  every  member. 
December. — As  we  commemorate  the  coming  of  the  world's  greatest  gift,  let  us 
thoughtfully  ask  ourselves,  "How  do  my  gifts  look  to  Him  ?  My  gifts  of 
time,  of  influence,  of  money."  As  societies  and  individuals  in  these  closing 
hours  of  the  year  let  us  pledge  a  more  completely  devoted  giving  of  our  all 
to  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

We  must  go  "over  the  top"  along  all  the  lines  suggested  in  the  budget 
given  above.  To  accomplish  this  we  must  develop  every  one  of  the  five 
points  of  the  Forward  Movement  Program. 

The  Woman's  Board  of  the  Eastern  Virginia  Conference  has  undertaken 
the  support  of  Miss  Iola  Hedgepeth  as  a  missionary  to  neglected  mountain  dis- 
tricts. From  a  report  of  this  conference  we  read,  "It  was  decided  to  have  a 
'Home  Mission  Special'  equal  in  amount  to  the  'Foreign  Mission  Special,'  and 
that  this  'Special'  be  for  the  support  of  our  Washington,  D.  C,  pastor." 

The  goal  of  the  Young  People  was  fixed  at  $1,000.00  and  this  is  to  be  used 

in  prosecuting  our  mountain  work  as  the  Mission  Board  may  direct The 

women  of  Eastern  Virginia  are  doing  great  things  for  the  kingdom The 

conference's  motto  was,  "Anywhere,  proyided  it  be  forward."

CONFERENCE  DEPARTMENT 


[Notice: — In  the  Conference  Department,  where  the  church,  or  the  Sunday-school,  or 
Christian  Endeavor  Society  is  not  reported  hy  the  Conference  Secretary,  we  have  taken  it  as 
evidence  that  there  were  none  to  report,  except  in  such  cases  where  we  were  fully  assured  that 
only  temporary  inactivity  existed.  When  Sunday-schools  and  Christian  Endeavor  Societies  were 
not  reported  as  making  offerings  to  these  departments,  it  was  taken  for  granted  that  no  offering 
had  been  made.  The  four  offerings — Convention,  Home  Missions,  Foreign  Missions,  and  Educa- 
tion— are  reported  from  the  Convention  records,  except  those  reported  by  Conference  Secretaries.]

Rev.  J.  F.  Morgan,  Berkley,  Norfolk,  Va. — Assistant  Secretary. 
Rev.  W.  C.  Wicker,  Elon  College,  N.  C. — Treasurer. 

Territory — The  Southern  Christian  Convention  is  composed  of  the  following 
conferences:  Virginia  Valley  Central  Conference,  A.  W.  Andes,  Harrisonburg,  Va., 
Secretary;  Georgia  and  Alabama  Conference,  J.  F.  Hill,  Jr.,  Phoenix,  Ala.,  secre- 
tary; Alabama  Conference,  E.  M.  Carter,  Wadley,  Ala.,  secretary;  Eastern

lina Christian  Conference,  W.  A.  Harper,   Elon  College,  N.  C,   Secretary. 

In  accordance  with  the  Convention  recommendations,  all  the  conferences  have 
organized  local  Conference  Missionary  Associations.  These  associations  have  been 
officered  in  the  manner  of  the  Convention  Association.  By  the  plans  thus  inau- 
gurated the  funds  for  home  missions  will  be  greatly  increased.  As  regards  for- 
eign missions,  there  is  a  steady  growth  of  interest.  A  special  call  was  made  upon 
the  conferences  for  missions  at  the  late  session  of  the  Convention. 

The  Convention  met  in  May,  1918,  at  Franklin,  Va.  Meets  again  in  1920,  in 
Raleigh,  N.  C. 

The  most  recent  forward  step  of  the  Convention  is  the  election  of  Dr.  J.  O. 
Atkinson  Field  Secretary  of  Missions  in  the  Convention.  One  hundred  twenty-five 
thousand  dollars  have  already  been  subscribed  and  more  than  $40,000.00  paid  in 
for  this  fund,  to  be  divided  equally  for  Home  and  Foreign  Missions. 

This  Convention  also  supports  the  Christian  Orphanage,  located  at  Elon 
College,  N.  C. ;  The  Christian  Sun,  and  Elon  College,  all  owned  by  the  Convention.

THE     CHRISTIAN     ANNUAL 


MINISTERIAL  DIRECTORY 


A   WORD   ABOUT   THIS    MINISTERIAL,    LIST 

Everything  was  done  that  care,  patience,  and  perseverence  could  do  to  have  the  ministerial 
list  correct.  There  are  a  few  names  on  the  list  that  were  not  reported  to  the  office  of  the  editor  by 
conference  officers.  These  few  are  given  without  naming  conference  membership.  The  absence  of  a 
name  from  the  ministerial  list  means  that  it  was  not  in  the  ministerial  report  given  by  the  Confer- 
ence Secretary.

FIFTY  SETS  TO  KOREA 

Gentlemen:     Some  years  ago  I  was   in   Amercia  and   bought  from   you   a  t 
Communion   Set   with    the   Pointed    Top   Glass   Cups.      I    have    used    it   for  f 
seven  years  with  the  greatest  satisfaction.     I  have  carried  it  all  over  the 
country — by  cowback,  horseback,   manback,  boat,  cart,   and  train,   and  in  ? 
all  that  time   I  have   broken  about   ten   of  the   cupts   out  of  280.      I   have  | 
served  Communion   with   it   hundreds   of  times.      I  write,   first,    because   I  £ 
want  to  get  20  more  of  the  cups,  and,  second,  because  I  want  to  put  you  i 
in  the  way  of  selling  a  lot  more  of  the  sets  in  Korea.     Twice  in  the  last  4 
seven  years  the  General  Assembly  of  Korea  have  met  in  my  church  and  i 
we   have   used   the   set,   and   it   has   created   a   great  deal   of   discussion.  •
